A major, retrospective launch of Roberto Bolano’s work – now published as a Vintage Classics author for the first time.
‘Now I am a mother and a married woman, but not long ago I led a life of crime’
So begins Bianca’s tale of growing up the hard way. Orphaned overnight as a teenager, she drops out of school and drifts into the bad company of two criminals her brother brings home. As the four of them plot a fantastical crime, Bianca learns she can drift even lower…
Electric and tense with foreboding, A Little Lumpen Novelita – one of the last novellas Roberto Bolano published – delivers a fractured fairy tale of taking control of one’s fate.
