The exhibition coincides with the seventh biennial iteration of Kosmopolis, the Amplified Literature Fest, which will take place at the CCCB from 14 to 16 March 2013. What sets this exhibition apart, beyond its thematic approach, innovative museographic fabric and dialogue with visitors, is the presentation of hitherto unpublished material from the archives of the Roberto Bolaño Estate . The novels, short stories, poems, notebooks, correspondence, family photos, his personal library, interviews, games of strategy and other valuable materials on show constitute an initial exploration of the Bolaño Archive, giving us greater insight into the writer’s creative world and contributing to a freer, more prolific interpretation of his oeuvre. The project is based on three core themes that interconnect to express some of the constants in the creative universe of the author of Los detectives salvajes (The Savage Detectives ). The first sets out a specific geography of three places (Barcelona, Girona and Blanes), where Roberto Bolaño wrote almost all of his work; the second presents a creative timeline of the publication of all of his books, and the third introduces us to the working processes of the writer. The exhibition layout is based on these themes, developing them in a foreword , a vital reference to the years spent in Mexico, and three clearly defined periods: 1. The unknown universityuniversity. Barcelona 1977-1980 2. In the kaleidoscopekaleidoscope. Girona 1980-1984 3. The visitor from the futurefuture. Blanes 1985-2003 The visit to the exhibition is conceived as a line of inquiry. The reader-visitor, like a detective, is faced with a series of tests and clues with touches of humour and irony. Materials in the exhibition 230 originals 100 photographs 100 books 7 audiovisuals produced by the CCCB A digital archivearchive: interactive consultation of interviews with Roberto Bolaño 4 THE BOLAÑO ARCHIVE Until the end of 2005, all the materials in the personal archive of Roberto Bolaño were kept in boxes, as the writer himself had arranged them. It was only in early 2006 that work began on the task of ordering and classifying the documentation that comprises the Bolaño Archive. The principal criterion for classification was to respect the order in which Roberto had organized his papers: folders with names or without, or recycled from different works, piles of papers with no particular order, boxes full of notebooks, magazines, press cuttings and/or compilations stapled together to form possible books. The numbering of the different binders responds to this criterion—a complicated process—in an attempt to list the materials by genre, but it has also provided valuable information about Roberto’s creative process. The first task was to number and file all the material, at the same time creating a computerized document to describe it all, giving an initial overview of the contents of the Archive. The next steps were to identify unpublished materials, start scanning documents and compile in computerized format all the interviews that Roberto had kept, classifying them by year. Much remains to be done: his unpublished poems, family photos, music tapes and CD s are still pending organization, his correspondence has yet to be analysed in detail and a thorough evaluation of his unpublished texts is needed. Here, it is worth pointing out that of the 14,374 pages filed under “Originals”, the unpublished work includes 26 short stories, four novels, poems, rough drafts, letters and diaries. Then, in electronic format, of 24,000 pages, unpublished work represents some 300: 200 of narrative and 100 of poetry. Finally, the material on show in “Bolaño Archive 1977-2003” is an initial exploration of the contents of the personal archives of Roberto Bolaño. Carolina López February 2013 5 3.- TEXTS IN THE EXHIBITION BOLAÑO ARCHIVE 1977-2003 Roberto Bolaño (Santiago de Chile 1953–Barcelona 2003) is one of the most original writers of recent decades, whose books have become a vital reference for all lovers of literature. This exhibition pays tribute to his body of work on the tenth anniversary of his death, as well as representing an initial exploration of his personal archives . Immersion into the vast collection of notebooks and pads, hand- and type-written documents, letters, books and photographs that Bolaño kept in the course of his life suggests a great game of detective work, an open case in which the reader-detectives can compare and contrast their findings, blazing new trails in a still unknown territory. The exhibition is organized in three creative periods, each associated with one of the places where Bolaño lived after arriving in Catalonia in 1977: Barcelona, Girona and Blanes. This itinerary reveals a creative chronology that complements the publication date of his books, offering new clues as to the origin and expansion of a unique literary universe. THE UNKNOWN UNIVERSITY. Barcelona 1977-1980 Roberto Bolaño arrived in Barcelona in 1977, during the transition from Franco’s regime to democracy. He arrived in a city abuzz with a special excitement and newly discovered social liberties. Bolaño took up residence in an apartment in Carrer Tallers, getting by with casual work but throwing himself into literary activity. He wrote poems, narrative and diaries about his experience as an immigrant in District 5. Just as Melville’s whale-ship was Harvard and Yale to Ishmael, Barcelona for Bolaño was a lecture theatre at the Unknown University. These were years of urgency, dreams and hunger, of an apprenticeship of perseverance and writing and reading, and writing and reading some more, on the trail of the “multiple destinies” of those who think and live in literature and for literature alone. 6 IN THE KALEIDOSCOPE . Girona 1980-1984 In 1980, Roberto Bolaño moved to Girona, where he worked on much of his written material, and on his ideas about the style and structure of what were to be his first stories and novels. This was a period of isolation during which the writer practised his techniques of textual fragmentation and assembly, at the same time indulging his passion for games of strategy. It was a long autumn in Girona: Bolaño tried to get his work published and submitted his short stories to municipal prizes, while, “ringing in the kaleidoscope, like an echo, are the voices of all those he used to be, and this he calls his patience”. This was the creative patience that hatched a literature for lovers, nomads and losers, a transgressive literature with a destiny that remained improbable. THE VISITOR FROM THE FUTURE . Blanes 1985-2003 Roberto Bolaño arrived in Blanes in the summer of 1985 to close the cycle of his “countless extra-literary jobs”. In this coastal town, whose geography he had imagined as he dogged the footsteps of Juan Marsé’s Pijoaparte, Bolaño consolidated his literary world with an extraordinary output of novels, short

  • Roberto Bolaño, El Asesino Literario. Enfoque En Su Carrera De Escritor
    Hipertexto 20 Verano 2014 pp. 121-131 Roberto Bolaño, el asesino literario. Enfoque en su trayectoria de escritor C. Valeria Bril Universidad Nacional de Córdoba Hipertexto ivimos sin duda en una época de difícil discernimiento para los escritores que V parecen ponerse de moda por la vorágine de un mercado literario internacional que incorpora a autores que podríamos denominar como asesinos o suicidas literarios. Tal es el caso de Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003), un escritor chileno que vivió en México y se radicó en España. Bolaño supo encontrar el camino que lo llevaría finalmente al éxito editorial. Se convirtió en un asesino en masa o un asesino serial, o mejor dicho en un asesino pasional, para intentar corromper con su escritura las nulas y las duras consideraciones críticas que ignoraban su figura de escritor. Nada quedó fuera de su astuto entusiasmo como escritor para lograr ver la salida de su anonimato. Bolaño fue un problema para los medios crítico-literarios, porque se presentó con un perfil público controvertido y poco discreto para sus colegas, proponiendo sus propios enfoques y revalorizaciones de/sobre las obras de otros autores. El escritor chileno puede ser comparado, siguiendo sus palabras acerca de la escritura de los suicidas y de los asesinos, con: Un suicida, sea o no sea discreto, lo único que plantea son unas pocas (pero interesantes) preguntas, y en algunos casos hasta alguna respuesta. El problema es que muy poca gente sabe leer la escritura de los suicidas y en cambio mucha gente está convencida, entusiasmadamente convencida, de conocer la escritura de los asesinos”.

  • Chapter 1 a Poetics of the Superficial
    IMAGING LITERATURE: PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILM IN SALVADOR ELIZONDO AND ROBERTO BOLAÑO A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Rafael Orozco Ramírez January 2014 © 2014 Rafael Orozco Ramírez IMAGING LITERATURE: PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILM IN SALVADOR ELIZONDO AND ROBERTO BOLAÑO Rafael Orozco Ramírez, PhD. Cornell University 2014 Imaging Literature studies the depiction of the human form and its fragmentation in visual images analogous to the fragmentation of the literary discourse. An analysis of the novels, short stories, and essays written by Roberto Bolaño and Salvador Elizondo pays particular attention to the way in which new means of mechanical and technological reproduction continue to enrich a representational paradigm within the arts. Imaging Literature is a study that, perhaps found closer to an essayistic exploration than to a theoretical analysis, tries to understand how literary works achieve the effects they do, how they relate to other literary texts, and how they affirm or contest literary conventions regarding structure and meaning. Attending not only to content and form but also to the thematic convergence of the texts explored in each chapter, this study is arranged into four chapters: a poetics of the superficial, a poetics of light, a poetics of the body, and finally, a poetics of pornography. The artistic possibilities writers of literature first saw in a medium such as photography may be read as the anxieties generated by literary innovation projected onto the visual medium, ultimately reflecting back onto the literary endeavor itself and shedding light on the limits of literary representation.

  • In Orbit: Roberto Bolaño and World Literature
    Department of English In orbit: Roberto Bolaño and world literature Friðrik Sólnes Jónsson MA thesis Literature Spring, 2015 Supervisor: Adnan Mahmutovic Abstract Chilean author Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) has achieved considerable critical and commercial success among a global English readership. Breaking into the US market, which has an important mediating role for the international circulation of texts, is a rare feat for a non-Anglophone author and requires some explanation. In the spirit of Pascale Casanova’s international criticism, this paper looks at Bolaño’s work as world literature and his persona as a world-literature figure against which theories on the subject can be measured. Furthermore, I will partly use his posthumous novel, 2666, as an example of a work that arises out of this process of becoming-world-literature. The success of Bolaño more or less conforms to the main theories of world literature (Casanova, Moretti, Thomsen), but it also reveals interesting mismatches and problematic aspects that show a need to update existing theories. Keywords: World literature; Roberto Bolaño; 2666; The Savage Detectives; Latin America; Márquez; The Boom; Pascale Casanova; Franco Moretti; Mads Rosendahl Thomsen; Seattle; Amazon; Jónsson 1 The balance between the specificity of the instance and the applicability of the general is a problem for all thought. - Eric Hayot Roberto Bolaño’s posthumously published novel 2666 has traveled well, even though it is an enigmatic work in many respects. The enigma extends beyond the fact that it consists of five loosely connected sections and that it features other peculiar structural and aesthetic elements, which make the reading of it quite challenging.1 Most perplexing of all is that among the limited number of translated books released in the US each year this one became a critical and commercial success and the culmination of Bolaño’s posthumous rise in the US and consequently throughout the world, affirming Bolaño’s status as a major figure of world literature.

  • '2666,' by Roberto Bolaño. Translated by Natasha Wimmer - Review - Nytimes.Com
    Book Review - '2666,' by Roberto Bolaño. Translated by Natasha Wimmer - Review - NYTimes.com November 9, 2008 The Departed By JONATHAN LETHEM Skip to next paragraph 2666 By Roberto Bolaño. Translated by Natasha Wimmer By 898 pp. Farrar, Straus & Giroux. Cloth and paper, $30 In Philip K. Dick’s 1953 short story “The Preserving Machine,” an impassioned inventor creates a device for “preserving” the canon of classical music — the sacred and, he fears, impermanent beauties of Schubert, Chopin, Beethoven and so forth — by feeding it into a device that transforms the compositions into living creatures: birds, beetles and animals resembling armadillos and porcupines. Outfitting the classic pieces in this manner, then setting them free, the inventor means to guarantee their persistence beyond the frailties of human commemoration, to give them a set of defenses adequate to their value. Alas, the musical-animals become disagreeable and violent, turn on one another and, when the inventor attempts to reverse-engineer his creations in order to prove that the music has survived, reveal themselves as a barely recognizable cacophony, nothing like the originals. Or has the preserving machine revealed true essences — irregularities, ferocities — disguised within the classical pieces to begin with? Dick’s parable evokes the absurd yearning embedded in our reverence toward art, and the tragicomic paradoxes “masterpieces” embody in the human realm that brings them forth and gives them their only value. If we fear ourselves unworthy of the sublimities glimpsed at the summit of art, what relevance does such exalted stuff have to our grubby lives? Con­versely, if on investigation such works, and their makers, are revealed as ordinary, subject to the same provisions and defects as the rest of what we’ve plopped onto the planet — all these cities, nations, languages, histories — then why get worked up in the first place? Perfect or, more likely, imperfect, we may suspect art of being useless in either case.

RESUMEN En el presente artículo se examinan algunas cuestiones fundamentales de la obra de Bolaño en general y de Los detectives salvajes, en particular: el lugar que ocupa el escritor en la narrativa hispanoamericana de los últimos años; la estructura tripartita de la novela con las peculiaridades espaciales y las alteraciones cronológicas que presenta; la proyección autobiográfica y el mito de la vida artística; y el género policial como «architexto» de la novela. Por último, se profundiza en aspectos compositivos de Los detectives salvajes que tienen que ver con las razones que mueven la escritura postdictatorial de Bolaño.

  • The Universe of Roberto Bolaño
    By Night in Chile: the Universe of Roberto Bolaño Roberto Bolaño was a Chilean poet who turned to fiction writing at the end of his life. He fled Chile for Mexico and Spain when Pinochet took power, and he died of liver failure in 2003. Taken together, the novels and short stories he wrote in the last ten years of his life are one of the great achievements of modern literature, and his major work, 2666, is surely the best novel of our young century. The themes of his work – exile, violence, poetry, fascism, youth, crime – connect all of his books into a single, sprawling text. My collection contains every book by Bolaño that has been translated into English, plus the short biography and interview collection by journalist Mónica Maristain. The highlight of the collection is the pair of editions of 2666. The first book I read by Bolaño was The Savage Detectives, a novel about poets and courage. I bought it on a whim after reading a positive review. Reading The Savage Detectives was so exhilarating that immediately upon putting it down, I drove to the nearest bookstore and bought every other Bolaño book they had on the shelf. My experience reading The Savage Detectives was surpassed only by reading the novel 2666, which I read next. Before even finishing 2666, I’d bought a copy for all my friends and convinced them to read it too. Why is it such a compelling book? 2666 manages to be a Latin American, American, German, and Russian novel all at once.

How does this impact their work and our views of them? DS: Writers use the content they’re given to shape their fiction. That includes material from their native countries and their adopted countries. The emotional response to living in another place heightens their sense of being an outsider. That perspective broadens and deepens the narratives they write. But in this instance where we are examining the doubling characteristics—those similarities and differences that define authors—I’m more interested in the distinctions, rather than the parallels, that shape the “Latino” experience of these two writers.
