Forty years after the emergence of Gabriel García Márquez, the narrative works of Roberto Bolaño have once again put Latin American literature at the center of the world's cultural mainstream. Within epics of travel, adventure and youth culture, he combined literary traditions that until then seemed incompatible. This course will explore the fictional world, the poetics, and the artistic strategies of an author that made Jim Morrison dialogue with James Joyce, who resuscitated the myth of the Latin American avant-gardes, and who in less than ten years went from being an anonymous eccentric to a New York Times bestseller.
