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.

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