Used - Very Good. Here is the eagerly anticipated second volume of stories by Roberto Bola̮̱o. Tender or etched in acid; hazily suggestive or chillingly definitive: a trove of strangely arresting, short master works. As Pankaj Mishra remarked in The Nation, one of the remarkable qualities of Bola̮̱o̢ s short stories is that they can do the ̢ work of a novel.̢ The Return contains thirteen unforgettable stories bent on returning to haunt you. Wide-ranging, suggestive, and daring, a Bola̮̱o story might concern the unexpected fate of a beautiful ex-girlfriend or a dream of meeting Enrique Lihn: his plots go anywhere and everywhere and they always surprise. Consider the title piece: a young party animal collapses in a Parisian disco and dies on the dance floor; just as his soul is departing his body, it realizes strange doings are afoot̢ and what follows next defies the imagination (except Bola̮̱o̢ s own).Although a few have been serialized in The New Yorker and Playboy, most of the stories of The Return have never before appeared in English, and to Bola̮̱o̢ s many readers will be like catnip to the cats."
