Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) was a rebel poet who turned to writing prose late in his life in order to better support his family. Almost all of his books were written under the shadow of his liver illness. During the last decade of his fifty-year life, he published an avalanche of visceral works that gained both critical and popular readership. His novels include Los detectives salvajes, Nocturno de Chile, and 2666. He was not awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. He was pretty sure he wouldn't win it.
