Vintage Editions Distant Star - Roberto Bolaño Kartoniert (TB)

Alberto Ruiz-Tagle was once the quiet unknowable unpromising member of Chile's young poetry scene. But the military coup of 1973 sees Alberto reborn as Chile's leading celebrity poet Carlos Wieder. Known for his daring sky poems penned in smoke high above the cities Weider's dazzling trajectory is a cause for astonishment and speculation amongst his old poetry friends. Where did this talent suddenly spring from? And how is it connected to the disappearance of the beautiful Garmendia twins? Told from across the years in exile in Europe the narrator's attempts to trace the fate of his old circle will lead him to one last confrontation with the brutality of their generation. Elegant pocket-sized paperbacks VINTAGE Editions celebrate the audacity and ambition of the written word transporting readers to wherever in the world literary innovation may be found.
