Escribía poemas distantes y cautelosos, seducía a las mujeres y despertaba en los hombres una indefinible desconfianza. Volvió a verlo después del golpe, pero en ese momento ignoraba que aquel aviador, que escribía versículos de la Biblia con el humo de un avión de la Segunda Guerra Mundial y el poeta, eran uno, y el mismo. Y así nos es contada la historia de un impostor, de un hombre de muchos nombres, sin otra moral que la estética, dandy del horror, asesino y fotógrafo del miedo, artista bárbaro que llevaba sus creaciones hasta sus últimas y letales consecuencias.Novela clave en la obra de Roberto Bolao, Estrella Distante es, además de un apasionante thriller intelectual, una escalofriante investigación 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 Bolano's hair-raising novel Distant Star is Alberto Ruiz-Tagle, an air force pilot who exploits the 1973 coup to launch his own version of the New Chilean Poetry, a multimedia enterprise involving sky-writing, poetry, torture, and photo exhibitions.For our unnamed narrator, who first encounters this \"star\" in a college poetry workshop, Ruiz-Tagle becomes the silent hand behind every evil act in the darkness of Pinochet's regime. The narrator, unable to stop himself, tries to track Ruiz-Tagle down, and sees signs of his activity over and over again. A corrosive, mocking humor sparkles within Bolano's darkest visions of Chile under Pinochet. In Bolano's world there's a big graveyard and there's a big graveyard laugh. (He once described his novel By Night in Chile as \"a tale of terror, a situation comedy, and a combination pastoral-gothic 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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51736032444704,"sku":"NEW030747612X","price":17.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81_YFeicFWL.jpg?v=1779503373","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/estrella-distante-distant-star-spanish-edition-030747612x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
