"Extraordinary . . . [Bolano's] greatest work." -James Wood, The New York Times Book Review
"A marvelous river of feeling, a brilliant meditation, an enthralling fantasy-By Night in Chile is the real thing, and the rarest: a contemporary novel destined to have a permanent place in world literature." -Susan Sontag
The book that catapulted Roberto Bolano into international literary stardom, By Night in Chile is the final testimony of Sebastian Urrutia Lacroix-Chilean priest and member of Opus Dei, eminent literary critic and failed poet-as he is haunted by a shadowy figure from his past. In Urrutia's feverish last hours, a deluge of memories pours from him: of hobnobbing with Santiago's most unctuous literati; of undertaking a mission to save Europe's decaying cathedrals from existential threat by pigeon excrement; of retreating into Greco-Roman poetry during the darkest chapter of modern Chilean history; of tutoring Augusto Pinochet in Marxist theory, so that the General may better understand his enemies. Throughout he insists, with fracturing conviction, that he was always on the right side of history. A novel about high art and fascism, silence and complicity, and, ultimately, the weight of damnation, Roberto Bolano's By Night in Chile is a deep-cutting satire and a work of devastating moral insight.
With a new introduction by Nicole Krauss.
