Bolaño, A Biography In Conversations

"Much has been written about the late writer Roberto Bolaño; over the past decade, interest in his work has reached levels Bolaño himself may not have imagined. Or perhaps he had. Bolaño: A Biography in Conversations does much to add to our culture’s obsession with celebrity and the myths that surround writers in particular. Journalist Monica Maristain interviewed friends and associates of Bolaño in an attempt to offer more insight (and idiosyncratic detail) about his storied life. While, given its multiple voices and perspectives, it may not be the definitive Bolaño biography, it’s a fun and enveloping read for the already initiated."
