As Pankaj Mishra remarked in The Nation, one of the remarkable qualities of Bolano's short stories is that they can do the "work of a novel." The Return contains thirteen unforgettable stories bent on returning to haunt you. Wide-ranging, suggestive, and daring, a Bolano story might concern the unexpected fate of a beautiful ex-girlfriend or a dream of meeting Enrique Lihn: his plots go anywhere and everywhere and they always surprise. Consider the title piece: a young party animal collapses in a Parisian disco and dies on the dance floor; just as his soul is departing his body, it realizes strange doings are afoot-and what follows next defies the imagination (except Bolano's own). Although a few have been serialized in The New Yorker and Playboy, most of the stories of The Return have never before appeared in English, and to Bolano's many readers will be like catnip to the cats.

圖書標籤: 智利 小說 羅貝托·波拉尼奧 波拉尼奧 外國文學 RobertoBolaño 短篇小說 西語
波拉尼奧在另一本短篇小說集裏寫過一句話,大意是說:孤獨是瘋狂所能呈現齣的最微妙或者說最清晰的模樣,它比瘋狂更甚。---用這句話來形容他的這本短篇集倒是很閤適。
評分很屌的一本短篇集。
