Does Bola???o's masterpiece hint at his own life, or is the author himself a literary invention? Literary Nonfiction. After Devouring 2666 by Roberto Bola???o on the New York City subway, Jonathan Russell Clark does what any good literary critic would do--he reads everything by Bola???o he can get his hands on. But the more he learns about the writer's unlikely life, the less it makes sense. Bola???o cultivated ambiguities and false identities, almost as if he were laying a trap for his future biographers. Clark's investigation into Bola???o's magnum opus is a stumble through a labyrinth where fiction and self-mythologizing converge. This book is part of a new series from Fiction Advocate called Afterwords. A Sontag-worthy encapsulation of another writer.--Christopher Wood, The Quarterly Conversation If you have read 2666 and loved it, like most people who've read 2666 , then AN OASIS OF HORROR IN A DESERT OF BOREDOM is something of a must-read.--D. F. Lovett
