New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007. First edition of this modern classic, which was named one of the New York Times’ 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. Octavo, original half cloth. Boldly signed by the translator Natasha Wimmer on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Rodrigo Corral. Jacket lettering by Jennifer van Dalsen. Translated from Spanish by Natasha Wimmer. James Wood wrote in The New York Times, "A novel all about poetry and poets, one of whose heroes is a lightly disguised version of the author himself: how easily this could be nothing more than a precious lattice of ludic narcissism and unbearably "literary" adventures... The novel is wildly enjoyable (as well as, finally, full of lament), in part because Bolaño, despite all the game-playing, has a worldly, literal sensibility."
