A major, retrospective launch of Roberto Bolaño’s work - now published as a Vintage Classics author for the first time.
‘In this neighbourhood, only the dead go out for a walk’…

A violent man looks back on his childhood and seeks out the now-aged male porn actor his mother shot movies with.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Dark, intimate and sneakily touching … there is gold to be found in this collection’ * New York Review of Books *
Each tale turns the reader into a voyeur, grasping at snapshots of troubled lives and ghosts. * Observer *
The sense of embattlement that animates the writing, and the scab-picking intensity that he brings to his obsessions, makes The Return a compelling encapsulation of Bolaño’s work … you won’t be bored. * Los Angeles Times *
