[Poetry] Bolano, Roberto. The Unknown University. New York: New Directions, 2013. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with a closed edge tear to the heel of the spine. Roberto Bolano touted poetry as the superior art form, able to approach an infinity in which "you become infinitely small without disappearing." The sum of his life's work in his preferred medium, The Unknown University is a showcase of Bolano's gift for freely crossing genres, with poems written in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. "Poetry," he believed, "is braver than anyone." This bilingual edition is 835 pages.

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."
