A major, retrospective launch of Roberto Bolaño’s work – now published as a Vintage Classics author for the first time.

Mass-murdering authors. Writers at the head of a football-hooligan ring. A pilot who crafts his poetry in the sky.

A tour de force of black humour and imaginary erudition, Nazi Literature in the Americas presents itself as a biographical dictionary of pan-American writers who espoused extreme right-wing ideologies in the 20th and 21st centuries.

Terrifyingly witty and remarkably inventive, this is the virtuosic, one-of-a-kind masterpiece which brought Bolaño fame throughout the Spanish-speaking world.

TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS

'The best and weirdest kind of literary game... A strangely profound place to get lost’ Financial Times

‘A darkly comic celebration of the wilder horizons of writing, good, plodding, lunatic and terrible’ London Review of Books

Praise for Nazi Literature in the Americas

The triumphant posthumous entrance of Roberto Bolaño into the English-language literary firmament has been one of the sensations of the decade.

Sunday Times

An artful alternate history of modern literature

Financial Times

Bolaño's impressive novel triumphs

Observer

An extraordinary fantasia

Independent

Lucid, insane, deadly serious, wildly playful

Nicole Krauss

Roberto Bolaño: that poete maudit, irreverent and brilliant, who wrote many of the best stories and novels of his generation.

Samanta Schweblin

One of the most respected and influential writers of his generation... At once funny and vaguely, pervasively, frightening.

John Banville

It’s no exaggeration to call Bolaño a genius

Washington Post

Roberto Bolaño made each book more ambitious so that it will take us many years to come to terms with his vast achievement
