The author explores Bolano's broad-ranging literary culture with great success. He offers a detailed portrait not just of a writer, but of a reader. This is, in short, a significant contribution that will appeal to anyone who wants to understand the whole of Bolano's oeuvre.' Hector Hoyos, Stanford University, California 'Eye-opening and unique, Framing Roberto Bolano is a brilliant, comparative study of literary genres through the analysis of Bolano's oeuvre. Tracing the evolution of Bolano's writing from the minimal (the anti-narrative prose poems in Antwerp) to the maximal (the monumental 2666), it contextualizes Bolano's understanding of western literary history and politics, as well as his attitude toward readers and critics. Monroe's erudite familiarity with American and European as well as Latin American literature facilitates the insightful identification of important literary influences, leitmotifs, and themes in Bolano's works. Revealing Bolano's itinerary as a voracious reader, the book contextualizes his literature, and, along the way, defends its canonicity and importance in the World's Republic of Letters. An amazing research effort, with many innovative and original insights into a literature that seemed to have reached its limits for future literary analysis, it will be of interest to students and professors in Latin American and Western literature.'
