The Unknown University
ByPublisher Description
A deluxe edition of Bolano’s complete poetry
Perhaps surprisingly to some of his fiction fans, Roberto Bolano touted poetry as the superior art form, able to approach an infinity in which “you become infinitely small without disappearing.” When asked, “What makes you believe you’re a better poet than a novelist?” Bolano replied, “The poetry makes me blush less.” The sum of his life’s work in his preferred medium, The Unknown University is a showcase of Bolano’s gift for freely crossing genres, with poems written in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. “Poetry,” he believed, “is braver than anyone.”Download the free Fable app

““Breve como la belleza
La belleza absoluta
La que contiene toda la grandeza y la miseria del mundo
Y que sólo es visible para quienes aman”.
“nunca serás un hombre sabio, vaya, ni siquiera un hombre
razonablemente inteligente, pero el amor y tu sangre
te hicieron dar un paso, incierto pero necesario, en medio
de la noche, y el amor que guió ese paso te salva”.
“Leer es aprender a morir, pero también es aprender a ser feliz, a ser valiente”.”

“Nostálgico, rebelde, elegante.
Alabado sea Bolaño.”
About Roberto Bolaño
Author of 2666 and many other acclaimed works, Roberto Bolano (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and later lived in Mexico, Paris, and Spain. He has been acclaimed “by far the most exciting writer to come from south of the Rio Grande in a long time” (Ilan Stavans, The Los Angeles Times),” and as “the real thing and the rarest” (Susan Sontag). Among his many prizes are the extremely prestigious Herralde de Novela Award and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos. He was widely considered to be the greatest Latin American writer of his generation. He wrote nine novels, two story collections, and five books of poetry, before dying in July 2003 at the age of 50.
