Pankaj Mishra remarked in The Nation , "one of the remarkable qualities of Bolaño's short stories is that they can do the work of a novel". The Return contains thirteen unforgettable stories bent on returning to haunt you. Wide-ranging, suggestive, and daring, a Bolaño story might concern the unexpected fate of a beautiful ex-girlfriend or a dream of meeting Enrique Lihn; his plots go anywhere and everywhere and they always surprise. Consider the title piece: a young party animal collapses in a Parisian disco and dies on the dance floor; just as his soul is departing his body, it realizes strange doings are afoot--and what follows next defies the imagination (except Bolaño's own). Although a few have been serialized in The New Yorker and Playboy , most of the stories of The Return have never before appeared in English, and to Bolaño's many readers will be like catnip to the cats.

Roberto Bolaño, geboren 1953 in Santiago de Chile, lebte in Mexiko, kehrte 1972 nach Chile zurück, saß nach Pinochets Militärputsch für kurze Zeit im Gefängnis und ging dann ins Exil. Seit 1976 lebte er mit seiner Familie in Spanien. Für sein Werk, das in viele Sprachen übersetzt wurde und in Deutschland bei Kunstmann und Hanser erscheint, erhielt er den renommierten Rómulo-Gallegos-Preis. Er starb 2004.

Roberto Bolaños frühes Meisterwerk endlich auf Deutsch Nuria ist Eiskunstläuferin. An ihrer leuchtender Schönheit perlen alle Adjektive ab. Jedenfalls denken das drei Männer, die alles für sie geben. Als sie aus der Nationalmannschaft ausgeschlossen wird, veruntreut einer von ihnen Geld. In einer baufälligen Villa legt er davon eine Eislaufbahn an, nur für sie. Der zweite beobachtet das argwöhnisch, der dritte verzehrt sich vor Eifersucht. Am Ende liegt eine Leiche auf dem Eis. Wer von dreien weiß alles? »Die Eisbahn« ist der erste veröffentlichte Roman von Roberto Bolaño, die Ankündigung seines Meisterwerks »Die wilden Detektive«. Geschrieben hat ihn Bolaño heimlich als Nachtwächter auf einem Campingplatz an der Costa Brava. Wie eine Figur im Roman war er ein Dichter aus Mexiko, der auf die düsteren Erzählungen in seinem Innern lauschte. »Jedes Mal, wenn ich Bolaño lese, fühle ich mich inspiriert ... ein Meister der Sprache.« Patti Smith »Zur einen Hälfte unheilvoller Kriminalroman, zur anderen ein weiterer Klassiker vom neuen Schutzheiligen der Literatur.« Sam Anderson, New York Magazine
