El delirante y perturbador misterio de un impostorEl narrador vio por primera vez a aquel hombre en 1971 o 1972, cuando Allende era an Presidente de Chile. Escriba poemas distantes y cautelosos, seduca a las mujeres y despertaba en los hombres una indefinible desconfianza. Volvi a verlo despus del golpe, pero en ese momento ignoraba que aquel aviador, que escriba versculos de la Biblia con el humo de un avin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el poeta, eran uno, y el mismo. Y as nos es contada la historia de un impostor, de un hombre de muchos nombres, sin otra moral que la esttica, dandy del horror, asesino y fotgrafo del miedo, artista brbaro que llevaba sus creaciones hasta sus ltimas y letales consecuencias.Novela clave en la obra de Roberto Bolao, Estrella Distante es, adems de un apasionante thriller intelectual, una escalofriante investigacin sobre la mentalidad fascista y sus efectos en la sensibilidad literaria.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA chilling novel about the nightmare of a corrupt and brutal dictatorship.The star of Roberto Bolanos hairraising novel Distant Star is Alberto RuizTagle, an air force pilot who exploits the 1973 coup to launch his own version of the New Chilean Poetry, a multimedia enterprise involving skywriting, poetry, torture, and photo exhibitions.For our unnamed narrator, who first encounters this star in a college poetry workshop, RuizTagle becomes the silent hand behind every evil act in the darkness of Pinochets regime. The narrator, unable to stop himself, tries to track RuizTagle down, and sees signs of his activity over and over again. A corrosive, mocking humor sparkles within Bolanos darkest visions of Chile under Pinochet. In Bolanos world theres a big graveyard and theres a big graveyard laugh. (He once described his novel By Night in Chile as a tale of terror, a situation comedy, and a combination pastoralgothic novel.)Many Chilean authors have written about the bloody events of the early Pinochet years, the abductions and murders, Richard Eder commented in the The New York Times: None has done it in so dark and glittering a fashion as Roberto Bolano.
