SPAN 6720
Roberto Bolano and the Problem of Evil

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.

This course examines the life and work of the late Chilian writer Roberto Bolaño, one of the most influential writers in twenty-first century literature. We will study his poems, essays, short stories and novels, focusing in his constant obsession with the problem of evil, which he explored in multiple contexts: local, Latin American, and global. We will see the philosophical and literary underpinnings of his writing, the way Bolaño created his particular universe, in which horror and humor go hand in hand.

When Offered Spring.
