Book Synopsis

In this neighbourhood, only the dead go out for a walk'...

A young party animal collapses in a Parisian disco and dies on the dance floor, only to watch his soul departing his body. Two embittered police detectives debate their favourite weapons. A violent man looks back on his childhood and seeks out the now-aged male porn actor his mother shot movies with.

Here is the eagerly anticipated second volume of stories by Roberto Bolaño. Tender or etched in acid; hazily suggestive or chillingly definitive: The Return is a trove of strangely arresting short master works.

TRANSLATED BY CHRIS ANDREWS

''Dark, intimate and sneakily touching... There is gold to be found in this collection'' New York Review of Books
