Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 145 pages. Published in 2012. Collection of the author's unfinished writings. Now considered a contemporary classic. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Roberto Bolano's "The Secret of Evil" in a felicitous English translation. Marks the very first collaboration between Chris Andrews and Natasha Wimmer, Roberto Bolano's indefatigable (and heroic) translators in English. It is the ultimate posthumous tribute to Roberto Bolano's genius: A collection of fragments and unfinished pieces he left behind that were found in his computer after his death. That they ostensibly "extend the intricate, single web that is the work of Roberto Bolano" does not mean they cohere, but rather that Bolano's devoted readers have to have in published form every last scrap of paper Bolano wrote on. Considering how much Roberto Bolano now means to contemporary literature, they are not wrong to be so loyal and grateful. "The real thing and the rarest" (Susan Sontag). An absolute "must-have" title for Roberto Bolano collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and despite its imperfection (visible wear on the top corner of DJ spine, a publisher's flaw, NOT from handling or use, but it's there) is still in fine condition: Every single internal page is clean, crisp, and bright. The boards are sharp, NO bumping at all. It is priced accordingly. Please note: Copies available online have even more serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A near-fine copy.

Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 134 pages. Published in 2010. The author's historico-literary novel. Now considered a contemporary classic. The first appearance of the title in English and in the United States. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. Presents Roberto Bolano's "Monsieur Pain" in a felicitous English translation. Based on real-life figures and events, including the enigmatic eponymous character, who is thought to be Cesar Vallejo, regarded as the greatest Spanish poet of the 20th century by many critics and readers (that is, greater than the usual suspects: Lorca, Borges, Neruda, or Octavio Paz). Bolano wrote and published the novel when he was in his late 20's and during his long obscurity (in 1981 or 1982) as "The Elephant Path". As such, he mirrors his own desperate life through Vallejo's even more desperate one. He reissued it in 1999 as "Monsieur Pain", and discreetly alludes to its connection with a later work, "Last Evenings On Earth". Its very belated appearance in English is part of an ongoing project to translate and publish Bolano's complete oeuvre, and as such, is not only laudable but noble and necessary. "A hallucinatory masterwork. One of Robert Bolano's most tender and moving novels" (Publisher's blurb). What exactly is Roberto Bolano's achievement? "He emerged as a writer at a time when Latin America no longer believed in utopias, when paradise had become hell, and that sense of monstrousness and waking nightmares and constant flight from something horrid permeates '2666' and all his work. A writer who worked without a net, who went all out, with no brakes, and in doing so, created a new way to be a great Latin American writer" (Rodrigo Fresan). The consistently high level of Bolano's virtuosity is almost miraculous when one sees it as having been achieved during a brief and miserable personal life. It was as though he turned to literature not just to complement or complete but to change his life altogether. By the time of his untimely death in 2003 at the age of 50, Bolano was universally regarded as the greatest Spanish-language novelist of our time. "The real thing and the rarest" (Susan Sontag). An absolute "must-have" title for Roberto Bolano collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER ROBERTO BOLANO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0811217140.…

"From the first sentence, the novel bears his hallmarks. The irony, the atmosphere of erotic anxiety, the dream logic shading into nightmare, the feckless, unreliable narrator; all prefigure his later work. The young novelist must have been exhilarated, and possibly alarmed, to discover his talent so fully formed" (Lorin Stein). "Bolano makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world" (The London Guardian). "When I read Bolano I think: Everything is possible again" (Nicole Krauss).
