First printing. Translation by Natasha Wimmer of "Los sinsabores del verdadero policía" (Anagrama, 2011). Volume, measuring approximately 6.75" x 9.5", is bound in pale yellow paper spine and boards, with stamped black lettering to spine. Book and dust jacket are new. 250 pages. "The novel follows Óscar Amalfitano―an exiled Chilean university professor and widower―through the maze of his revolutionary past, his relationship with his teenage daughter, Rosa, his passion for a former student, and his retreat from scandal in Barcelona. Forced to leave Barcelona for Santa Teresa, a Mexican city close to the U.S. border where women are being killed in unprecedented numbers, Amalfitano soon begins an affair with Castillo, a young forger of Larry Rivers paintings. Meanwhile, Rosa, Amalfitano's daughter, engages in her own epistolary romance with a basketball player from Barcelona, while still trying to cope with her mother's early death and her father's secrets. After finding Castillo in bed with her father, Rosa is forced to confront her own crisis. What follows is an intimate police investigation of Amalfitano that involves a series of dark twists, culminating in a finale full of euphoria and heartbreak. Featuring characters and stories from his other books, "Woes of the True Policeman" invites the reader more than ever into the world of Roberto Bolaño. It is an exciting, kaleidoscopic novel, lyrical and intense, yet darkly humorous. Exploring the roots of memory and the limits of art, "Woes of the True Policeman" marks the culmination of one of the great careers of world literature."

Entrevistas al escritor roberto bolanos,Roberto Bolaño Ávalos (Speaker Icon.svg escuchar) (Santiago de Chile, 28 de abril de 1953 - Barcelona, 15 de julio de 2003)1​ fue un escritor y poeta chileno, autor de más de dos decenas de libros, entre los cuales destacan sus novelas Los detectives salvajes, ganadora del Premio Herralde en 1998 y el Premio Rómulo Gallegos en 1999, y la póstuma 2666. Luego de su muerte se ha convertido en uno de los escritores más influyentes en lengua española, como lo demuestran las numerosas publicaciones consagradas a su obra y el hecho de que tres novelas —además de las ya citadas Los detectives salvajes y 2666, la breve Estrella distante— figuren en los 15 primeros lugares de la lista confeccionada en 2007 por 81 escritores y críticos latinoamericanos y españoles, con los mejores 100 libros en lengua castellana de los últimos 25 años.2​3​ Su obra ha sido traducida a numerosos idiomas, entre ellos inglés, francés, alemán, italiano4​ y neerlandés. Al momento de su muerte tenía 37 contratos de publicación en diez países. Póstumamente la lista creció para incluir más países, entre ellos Estados Unidos,5​ y ascendió a 50 contratos y 49 traducciones en doce países,6​ todos ellos previos a la publicación de 2666, su novela más ambiciosa.7​ Además, el autor goza de excelentes críticas tanto de escritores como de críticos literarios contemporáneos y se le considera uno de los grandes autores hispanoamericanos del siglo XX, junto con otros escritores de la talla de Jorge Luis Borges y Julio Cortázar, con quien suele ser comparado,libro publicado en casa de las americas,la habana 2016,libro nuevo.
