Last Evenings on Earth

Last Evenings on Earth - Roberto Bola�o

Last Evenings on Earth

"The melancholy folklore of exile," as Roberto Bolano once put it, pervades these 14 haunting stories--the first short-story collection in English by acclaimed Chilean author Roberto Bolano.

In the short story "Silva the Eye," Bolano 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 Bolano's beloved "failed generation," the stories of Last Evenings on Earth have appeared in The New Yorker and Grand Street.
