Chris Andrews, a leading translator of Bolaño's work into English, explores the singular achievements of the author's oeuvre, engaging with its distinct style and key thematic concerns, incorporating his novels and stories into the larger history of Latin American and global literary fiction. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAndrews provides new readings and interpretations of Bolaño's novels, including\u003ci\u003e 2666\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Savage Detectives\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBy Night in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e, while at the same time examining the ideas and narrative strategies that unify his work. He begins with a consideration of the reception of Bolaño's fiction in English translation, examining the reasons behind its popularity. Subsequent chapters explore aspects of Bolaño's fictional universe and the political, ethical, and aesthetic values that shape it. Bolaño emerges as the inventor of a prodigiously effective \"fiction-making system,\" a subtle handler of suspense, a chronicler of aimlessness, a celebrator of courage, an anatomist of evil, and a proponent of youthful openness. Written in a clear and engaging style, \u003ci\u003eRoberto Bolano's Fiction\u003c\/i\u003e offers an invaluable understanding of one of the most important authors of the last thirty years.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Andrews teaches at Western Sydney University, where he is a member of the Writing and Society Research Center.
