Amberes / Antwerp
Roberto Bolano
Descrita por el propio autor como una obra policiaca, aunque no lo parezca , Amberes fue redactada veintidos anos antes de su primera publicacion en 2002, y descubre al Roberto Bolano mas experimental y complejo.
A caballo entre la narrativa y la prosa poetica, Amberes se compone de 56 fragmentos, 56 balas perdidas cuyo objetivo permanece oculto al lector. Como pequenos fogonazos sin orden ni concierto que solamente insinuan la existencia de una luz mas cegadora, los recuerdos y divagaciones que, en voz de distintos personajes -vivos y muertos-, llenan estas paginas, nos hablan de jorobados, drogas, prostitutas, peliculas, escritores sin palabras, asesinatos, asesinos y asesinados.
Bamboleandose entre ficcion y realidad, entre cordura y locura, el lector se enfrenta a un caso en un tablero con todas las piezas, pero sin ninguna garantia de que tenga solucion.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Bolano’s radical first novel.
Written when he was only twenty-seven, Antwerp can be viewed as the Big
Bang of Roberto Bolano’s fictional universe. This novel presents the genesis
of Bolano’s enterprise in prose; all the elements are here, highly
compressed, at the moment when his talent explodes. From this
springboard which Bolano chose to publish in 2002, twenty years after he’d
written it ( and even that I can’t be certain of ) as if testing out a high
dive, he would plunge into the unexplored depths of the modern novel.
Voices speak from a dream, from a nightmare, from passersby, from an
omniscient narrator, from Roberto Bolano. Antwerp’s fractured narration in
fifty-four sections moves in multiple directions and cuts to the bone.
