First edition, 1st printing. Translated by Natasha Wimmer. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in NEW condition. "From a master of contemporary fiction, a tale of bohemian youth on the make in Mexico City: Two young poets, Jan and Remo, find themselves adrift in Mexico City. Obsessed with poetry, and, above all, with science fiction, they are eager to forge a life in the literary world--or sacrifice themselves to it. Roberto Bolaño's THE SPIRIT OF SCIENCE FICTION is a story of youth hungry for revolution, notoriety, and sexual adventure, as they work to construct a reality out of the fragments of their dreams. But as close as these friends are, the city tugs them in opposite directions. Jan withdraws from the world, shutting himself in their shared rooftop apartment where he feverishly composes fan letters to the stars of science fiction and dreams of cosmonauts and Nazis. Meanwhile, Remo runs headfirst into the future, spending his days and nights with a circle of wild young writers, seeking pleasure in the city's labyrinthine streets, rundown cafés, and murky bathhouses. This kaleidoscopic work of strange and tender beauty is a fitting introduction for readers uninitiated into the thrills of Roberto Bolaño's fiction, and an indispensable addition to an ecstatic and transgressive body of work." [jacket copy] "[Bolaño] is a kinetic, epiphanic writer, and even his earliest works tremble like a whirring, unpredictable machine. THE SPIRIT OF SCIENCE FICTION functions as a kind of key to the jeweled box of Bolaño's fictions, an index of the images that would come to obsess him. Longtime Bolaño fans will doubtless enjoy this familiar cocktail of sorrow and ecstasy."--Paris Review. "A sort of raw spinoff of the extraordinary initial section of the first of Bolaño's international hits, The Savage Detectives. Maybe it's precisely the sense of reading a work under construction that makes THE SPIRIT OF SCIENCE FICTION such a pleasure."--Alvaro Enrigue, Book Page. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding.
