I, Auxilio, poet, known as the mother of Mexican poetry. I came to Mexico from Uruguay alone in 1967, or 1965, or 1962, and lived under the tutelage of two highly respected Spanish writers, willing to be their cleaning lady, one of whom was the author of the poetry collection I read when I was trapped in the women's bathroom of the Department of Philosophy and Literature when the army occupied the university to arrest students. But I also had my own life. I lived in Naples, in Rome, and in Atenol Salas. I lost my books and clothes. But soon I got other books and other clothes. The university gave me some unimportant temporary jobs, and then took them back.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) was born in Chile. His father was a truck driver and amateur boxer, and his mother taught mathematics and statistics at school. In 1968, his family moved to Mexico. In 1973, Bolaño returned to Chile to join the socialist revolution but was arrested and almost killed. After escaping back to Mexico, he and his friends promoted the "Infrarealism" movement that combined surrealism, Dadaism and street theater, intending to inspire young people in Latin America to love life and literature. In 1977, he went to Europe and finally married and settled in Costa del Boreal, Spain. In 2003, he died in Barcelona at the age of 50 due to liver damage and unable to wait for an organ transplant.
Bolaño did not start writing novels until he was 40, but the number of his works is astonishing, leaving behind 10 novels, 4 short story collections and 3 poetry collections. The sensation caused by "The Savage Detectives" published in 1998 in Latin American literary circles was no less than the sensation caused by the publication of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" 30 years ago. And the posthumous "2666" has received overwhelming praise from European and American public opinion.
