La Literatura Nazi En America

Quel est le sujet du livre "La Literatura Nazi En America"

La literatura nazi en América es «una antología vagamente enciclopédica de la literatura filonazi producida en América desde 1930 a 2010, un contexto cultural que, a diferencia de Europa, no tiene conciencia de lo que es y donde se cae con frecuencia en la desmesura.»
Roberto Bolaño

Organizada en trece capítulos, a su vez divididos en varias secciones, La literatura nazi en América traza zigzagueante un recorrido por las voces, las plumas y las vidas de autores como Edelmira Thompson de Mendiluce, Luiz Fontaine Da Souza, Pedro González Carrera y Segundo José Heredia. Autores todos ellos relacionados, de uno u otro modo, con el nazismo. Autores todos ellos concisamente retratados con sus claroscuros en esta suerte de ingeniosísima enciclopedia literaria. Autores todos ellos ficticios, todos ellos inventados, frutos de la imaginación, que les da vida y los dispone en la red geográfica y narrativa de un continente de historia ilusoria poblado por escritores de historias ilusorias.

Reseñas:
«Se convirtió en un cuentista y novelista central, quizás el más destacado de su generación, sin duda el más original y el más infrecuente.»
Jorge Edwards

«Bolaño no solo muestra una brillante capacidad para inventar figuras literarias, sino también para recrear ambientes, para acentuar conflictos, para inventar argumentos o títulos y para confundir lo real con lo imaginario.»
J.A. Masoliver Ródenas, La Vanguardia

For most of his early adulthood, Bolaño was a vagabond, living at one time or another in Chile, Mexico, El Salvador, France and Spain. Bolaño moved to Europe in 1977, and finally made his way to Spain, where he married and settled on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona, working as a dishwasher, a campground custodian, bellhop and garbage collector — working during the day and writing at night.

He continued with his poetry, before shifting to fiction in his early forties. In an interview Bolaño stated that he made this decision because he felt responsible for the future financial well-being of his family, which he knew he could never secure from the earnings of a poet. This was confirmed by Jorge Herralde, who explained that Bolaño "abandoned his parsimonious beatnik existence" because the birth of his son in 1990 made him "decide that he was responsible for his family's future and that it would be easier to earn a living by writing fiction." However, he continued to think of himself primarily as a poet, and a collection of his verse, spanning 20 years, was published in 2000 under the title The Romantic Dogs.

Regarding his native country Chile, which he visited just once after going into voluntary exile, Bolaño had conflicted feelings. He was notorious in Chile for his fierce attacks on Isabel Allende and other members of the literary establishment.

In 2003, after a long period of declining health, Bolaño passed away. Bolaño was survived by his Spanish wife and their two children, whom he once called "my only motherland."

Although deep down he always felt like a poet, his reputation ultimately rests on his novels, novellas and short story collections. Although Bolaño espoused the lifestyle of a bohemian poet and literary enfant terrible for all his adult life, he only began to produce substantial works of fiction in the 1990s. He almost immediately became a highly regarded figure in Spanish and Latin American letters.

In rapid succession, he published a series of critically acclaimed works, the most important of which are the novel Los detectives salvajes (The Savage Detectives), the novella Nocturno de Chile (By Night In Chile), and, posthumously, the novel 2666. His two collections of short stories Llamadas telefónicas and Putas asesinas were awarded literary prizes.

In 2009 a number of unpublished novels were discovered among the author's papers.
