ISBN: 9781108658454 出版年：2019 页码：268 Jonathan Beck Monroe Cambridge University Press

Poetry, fiction, literary history, and politics. These four cornerstone concerns of roberto bolano's work have established him as a representative, generational figure in not only chile, mexico, and spain, the three principal locations of his life and work, but throughout europe and the americas, increasingly on a global scale. At the heart of bolano's 'poemas-novela', his poet- and poetry-centered novels, is the history and legacy of the prose poem. Challenging the policing of boundaries between verse and prose, poetry and fiction, the literary and the non-literary, the aesthetic and the political, his prose poem novels offer a sustained literary history by other means, a pivotal intervention that restores poetry and literature to full capacity.
