    A needed perspective, although the Bolaño Legacy argument makes more sense than the “He’s taking the space of other translated works in NA” one. He might take up a greater part of the literary conversation, but I’m not publishers would necessarily be translating more Latin-American fiction if Bolaño’s posthumous works weren’t around.

    People are finally figuring this out? They’ve been churning out subpar Bolano collections for years, much of it mindlessly repetitive.
