Written when he was just twenty-seven years of age, it was so intensely strange and solitary that he tucked it away for more than twenty years, certain that any publisher would slam the door in his face. It proceeds in hallucinatory sketches: a lonely highway, a desolate campground, a freshly abandoned hotel room; a tryst, an interrogation, a murder; and somewhere just out of reach, a young, feverish writer named Roberto Bola?o drifting in and out of view. A radical, sui generis effort by a burgeoning genius, Antwerp is an essential part of Bola?o's oeuvre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250898166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.38w x 1.00d","brand":"Roberto Bola?o","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44413659775157,"sku":"9781250898166","price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_704a1a4d-1e6e-496f-9e59-2062ebc0afb4.jpg?v=1720538176","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/antwerp-9781250898166","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
