Roberto Bolan~o's Tres is a showcase of the author's willingness to freely cross genres, with poems in prose, stories in verse, and flashes of writing that can hardly be categorized. As the title implies, the collection is composed of three sections. "Prose from Autumn in Gerona," a cinematic series of prose poems, slowly reveals a subtle and emotional tale of unrequited love by presenting each scene, shattering it, and piecing it all back together, over and over again. The second part, "The Neochileans," is a sort of On the Road in verse, which narrates the travels of a young Chilean band on tour in the far reaches of their country. Finally, the collection ends with a series of short poems that take us on "A Stroll Through Literature" and remind us of Bolan~o's masterful ability to walk the line between the comically serious and the seriously comical.

Industry Reviews

One of my two best books.--Roberto Bolano One of my two best books. --Roberto Bolano One of my two best books. --Roberto Bola o One of my two best books. --Roberto Bolano" In this long list poem, or list poem of dreams, or dream list poem, Bolano describes nocturnal encounters with famous, often dead authors and poets, with the sort of proximity one usually saves for family members. Tres sounded entirely new to me, and so I decided to re-read it, or I guess, read it, because if you cant remember it have you really read it? But then when I started to, I remembered it, kind of like a conversation you re not sure you really had, but then you dream about it and it seems real, until you wake up. It felt for lack of a better word metaphysical. " We savor all he has written as every offering is a portal into the elaborate terrain of his genius.--Patti Smith One of my two best books.--Roberto Bolano" Its complexities amaze and treat us to an unexpected magical experience that one can sit down reading for hours until our eyes and brain go numb--and you'll like it.
