A high school dropout who became one of Chile’s most respected writers, Roberto Bolaño wrote more than a dozen novels. This program presents an interview with Bolaño, author of Amuleto and Los Detectives Salvajes, for which he won the prestigious Romulo Gallegos prize.
Roberto Bolaño Ávalos (Spanish: [roˈβeɾto βoˈlaɲo ˈaβalos] (About this soundlisten); 28 April 1953 - 15 July 2003) was a Chilean novelist, short-story writer, poet and essayist. In 1999, Bolaño won the Rómulo Gallegos Prize for his novel Los detectives salvajes (The Savage Detectives), and in 2008 he was posthumously awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for his novel 2666, which was described by board member Marcela Valdes as a "work so rich and dazzling that it will surely draw readers and scholars for ages". The New York Times described him as "the most significant Latin American literary voice of his generation".
