The Savage Detectives
A Novel
Roberto Bolaño; Translated by Natasha Wimmer
Picador
"When I began reading
The Savage Detectives
last month, I had already devoured the first three of Bolaño's books to arrive in English—two short novels,
By Night in Chile
and
Distant Star
, and the story collection
Last Evenings on Earth
—and become a devoted fan. But I was still unprepared for
The Savage Detectives
, the work that made his reputation when it first appeared in 1998, and for which he was awarded the Rómulo Gallegos Prize. Available now in a seamless translation by Natasha Wimmer, this novel is an utterly unique achievement—a modern epic rich in character and event, suffused in every sentence with Bolaño's unsettling mix of precision and mystery. It's a lens through which the strange becomes ordinary and the ordinary is often very strange."—

2666
A Novel
Roberto Bolaño
Picador
"Bolaño was a difficult, angry, self-reflexive writer who lived an erratic and occasionally unpleasant life. And Americans, as the head of the Swedish Academy has annoyingly but rightly pointed out, don't read much fiction in translation anyway. But when the first of Bolaño's major novels,
The Savage Detectives
, a massive, bizarre epic about a band of avant-garde Mexican poets, was published in the U.S. last year, it instantly became a cult hit among readers and practically a fetish object to critics. Bolaño's second (and last) major novel is titled
2666
, and if anything, it is even more massive and more bizarre. It is also a masterpiece, the electrifying literary event of the year."—

House of Mist
A Novel
María Luisa Bombal
Farrar, Straus and Giroux
"Bombal—with her bold disregard for simple realism in favor of a heightened reality in which the external world reflects the internal truth of the characters' feeling, and with her deliberate mingling of fantasy, memory and event—is the precursor of the magical realism that is the flower of South American writing today . . . [the novel] awake[s] a feeling of genuine discovery, of minds and hearts not borrowed from European literature but indigenous to a New World of thought and feeling."—

Upside Down
A Primer for the Looking-Glass World
Eduardo Galeano; Translated by Mark Fried
Picador
"Galeano takes us on a dark tour through the rabbit hole at the End of History. Like the revolutionary printmaker Posada, he unmasks the belle epoque of the bourgeoisie as a danse macabre of the masses. No one has focused greater moral clarity on the inhuman conditions and radical inequalities that sustain the mirage of the New Economy."—

Voices of Time
A Life in Stories
Eduardo Galeano; Translated by Mark Fried
Picador
"The simplicity of these 300 vignettes belies their complexity. They read less like stories and more like prose poetry: each word carefully chosen, each phrase evocative of an entire action or mood . . . [Galeano] entwines family history with highly subjective and selective accounts of geological events, South American history, scientific discoveries, and anthropological observations. The results are disturbing; human inhumanity is a frequent topic."—
