Chris Andrews claimed A tour de force, Amulet is a highly charged first-person, semi-hallucinatory novel that embodies in one woman´s voice the melancholy and violent recent history of Latin America.Amulet is a monologue, like Bolaño´s acclaimed debut in English, By Night in Chile. The speaker is Auxilio Lacouture, a Uruguayan woman who moved to Mexico in the 1960s, becoming the ´Mother of Mexican Poetry,´ hanging out with the young poets in the cafés and bars of the University. She´s tall, thin, and blonde, and her favorite young poet in the 1970s is none other than Arturo Belano (Bolaño´s fictional stand-in throughout his books). As well as her young poets, Auxilio recalls three remarkable women: the melancholic young philosopher Elena, the exiled Catalan painter Remedios Varo, and Lilian Serpas, a poet who once slept with Che Guevara. And in the course of her imaginary visit to the house of Remedios Varo, Auxilio sees an uncanny landscape, a kind of chasm. This chasm reappears in a vision at the end of the book: an army of children is marching toward it, singing as they go. The children are the idealistic young Latin Americans who came to maturity in the ´70s, and the last words of the novel are: ´And that song is our amulet.´
