But this anthology also shows how Roberto Bolaño's participation in world literature is informed in his experiences, identity, and, more generally, cultural location as a Chilean, Latin American and, more generally, Hispanic writer and man. This book provides a corrective to readings of his novels as exclusively \"postmodern\" or as unproblematically representative of Chilean or Latin American reality. \u003ci\u003eRoberto Bolaño as World Literature\u003c\/i\u003e thus helps readers to better understand such complex works as his monumental global five-part masterpiece \u003ci\u003e2666\u003c\/i\u003e, his Chilean novels (\u003ci\u003eDistant Star\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBy Night in Chile\u003c\/i\u003e), and his Mexican narratives (\u003ci\u003eAmulet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Savage Detectives\u003c\/i\u003e), among other works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNicholas Birns\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor at New York University, USA.
