Bolaño's radical first novel makes its audiobook debut as a fresh Directions Pearl. Written when he was only 27, Antwerp may very well be the top Bang of Roberto Bolano's fictional universe. This novel reveals the genesis of Bolano's venture in prose; all the elements are here, highly compressed, at this time when his skill explodes. Out of this springboard-which Bolano thought we would post in 2002, 20 years after he'd written it ("and even that I can't be certain of")-as if testing out a high dive, he would plunge in to the unexplored depths of the present day novel. Voices speak from a goal, from a headache, from passersby, from an omniscient narrator, from "Roberto Bolaño". Antwerp's fractured narration in 54 parts goes in multiple directions and slashes to the bone.
