Roberto Bolaño just carry on, at least for the publication of his works. Pending in Italy also announced two new songs for the next few months here that Adelphi republishes Amulet , a novel false-yellow 1999, the new version of the valiant hispanist ILIDA Carmignani. A dark history, secret is probably the more appropriate term, as told in person by Auxilio Lacouture, the "mother of all young Mexican poets," who lived his moment of fame when it closed the rest - basically immobile - in a cabinet at the University of Mexico City as the military were raided on campus Sixty-eight during the riots. That experience, which Bolaño tells with the usual lucid and visionary mad at the same time, he left an indelible mark on the young woman, who by that time brings its own strength alone as an amulet. The horror of the bottom, what the Chilean writer is a master at leaving in the background, as if white noise audible only with special equipment, is just what the political violence that befell an entire generation of young Latin Americans. But, as in all the best pages of Bolaño, the charm of the book lies in the incredible skill with which the writer seems to speak other, leaving only the tracks that the player can choose to follow as not to consider, of course Every road taken will be both perfect and blatantly wrong . Borges, in short, has not gone in vain.
of possible forking paths that lie ahead for the reader, a door straight ahead to a treasure for fans of Bolaño: Amulet pages, in fact, converge most famous characters invented by Chile, on all his alter ego bleating Arturo, Ulises Lima starred with unforgettable masterpiece The Savage Detectives. this novel in which it appears the story of Auxilio, and here already spreads a slight sense of vertigo. But we are only beginning: Page 72 edition Adelphi, in fact, is an unexpected answer to one of the likely questions that have troubled the readers who have loved 2666, the monumental Bolaño's posthumous novel - also here must spend the word masterpiece, it is not redundant is inevitable - the title of which we were all questioned. Along the more than a thousand pages of the book, the mysterious figure never appears. We find, however, in Amulet: "The Guerrero - Bolaño writes about an infamous street in Mexico City - at that time seems more like a cemetery, a cemetery but not the 1974 or 1968, a cemetery, nor a cemetery in 1975, but a cemetery in 2666, a forgotten cemetery under an eyelid dead or never born, the watery eyes of a dispassionate to forget something that has come to forget everything. " Pure Bolaño, a phrase which, alone, worth the ticket price.
The feeling is that basically, the Chilean has always written one big story, declined for purely editorial reasons in various books and collections of short stories, but live as the necessary appendages of a single literary rhizome, which unfolds and forks - a bit 'like the brushstrokes that closes The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino - up to trace the whole story of a writer manifest or secret, but no doubt died too soon. One last remark: in this game of coincidences and intersections that leads the reader to lick the boundaries of our world of hell stands another figure: Amulet is the volume 222 Fabula of the series of Adelphi. Multiplying it by three, ie the number of works by Bolaño published so far by the publishing house of Calasso, you get a very disturbing result. It 's just a game, but who knows someone in 2666 can not identify some other type of interpolation.
