Written when he was just twenty-seven years of age, it was so intensely strange and solitary that he tucked it away for more than twenty years, certain that any publisher would slam the door in his face. It proceeds in hallucinatory sketches: a lonely highway, a desolate campground, a freshly abandoned hotel room; a tryst, an interrogation, a murder; and somewhere just out of reach, a young, feverish writer named Roberto Bola?o drifting in and out of view. A radical, sui generis effort by a burgeoning genius, Antwerp is an essential part of Bola?o's oeuvre.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoberto Bolaño\u003c\/b\u003e (1953-2003) was the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Savage Detectives\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003e2666\u003c\/i\u003e, among many other notable works.
