Chris Andrews claimed The first short-story collection in English by the acclaimed Chilean author Roberto Bolaño. Winner of a 2005 PEN Translation Fund Award.´The melancholy folklore of exile,´ as Roberto Bolaño once put it, pervades these fourteen haunting stories. Bolano´s narrators are usually writers grappling with private (and generally unlucky) quests, who typically speak in the first person, as if giving a deposition, like witnesses to a crime. These protagonists tend to take detours and to narrate unresolved efforts. They are characters living in the margins, often coming to pieces, and sometimes, as in a nightmare, in constant flight from something horrid. In the short story ´Silva the Eye,´ Bolaño writes in the opening sentence: ´It´s strange how things happen, Mauricio Silva, known as The Eye, always tried to escape violence, even at the risk of being considered a coward, but the violence, the real violence, can´t be escaped, at least not by us, born in Latin America in the 1950s, those of us who were around 20 years old when Salvador Allende died.´ Set in the Chilean exile diaspora of Latin America and Europe, and peopled by Bolaño´s beloved ´failed generation,´ the stories of Last Evenings on Earth have appeared in The New Yorker and Grand Street.
