Bolano, Roberto (Author) & Wimmer, Natasha (Translator) : The Third Reich: A Novel

Farrar, Straus & Giroux, New York City, NY, 2011

ISBN 0374275629

First Edition / First Printing. As New in As New Dust Jacket. 277 pages. Scarce Roberto Bolano collectible set. Pristine copies of the First American and First British Editions. Posthumous publication of the author's unpublished novel. One of the most important literary events of our time. The first appearance of the title in the United States and the United Kingdom as a book, the American being a hardcover and the British, a softcover original. The novel first appeared serially, in four consecutive installments of The Paris Review. Presents Roberto Bolano's "El Tercer Reich" in a felicitous English translation. His serial novel, published as one complete volume. Discovered among Bolano's papers in 2009, he wrote it in 1989, but never published it in his lifetime. Why he did not will remain a mystery because it is "vintage-quintessential" Bolano. "From the first sentence, the novel bears his hallmarks. The irony, the atmosphere of erotic anxiety, the dream logic shading into nightmare, the feckless, unreliable narrator; all prefigure his later work. The young novelist must have been exhilarated, and possibly alarmed, to discover his talent so fully formed" (Lorin Stein). "Bolano makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world" (The London Guardian). "When I read Bolano I think: Everything is possible again" (Nicole Krauss). An absolute "must-have" title for Roberto Bolano collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only set of the First American Hardcover and First British Softcover Editions/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, pristine beauties. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws, are subsequent printings, or are remainder-marked. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce set thus. One of the greatest writers of our time. A fine set. (SEE ALSO OTHER ROBERTO BOLANO TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0374275629.
