The late Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño has been called the García Márquez of his generation. In this dazzling novel, the book that established his international reputation, Bolaño tells the story of two modern-day Quixotes—the last survivors of an underground literary movement, perhaps of literature itself—on a tragicomic quest through a darkening, entropic universe.

Qué hacer cuando la vida parece andar demasiado deprisa; cuando el amor y la muerte comparten el mismo lugar. Qué, cuando el tiempo y el miedo y el sexo se roban el sueño y te dejan tirado en la cama para rascarle a la tierra un cachito de más soledad. Al menos, en el caso de Cesar Jordán, la respuesta es escribir. Para amar, para respirar, para no morir.
