Summary:

"A collection of posthumously published stories by Roberto Bolaño"-- Provided by publisher.

"Gathering the short works found on Roberto Bolaño's computer shortly after his death, Posthumous Stories is animated by indeterminacy. Fragments of fantasies, memories, monologues, fears, and dreams proceed one into the other, seeming neither to begin nor end. Each is haunted by time: its tick, its weight, its eternity. Forever open, and forever becoming, these stories make collaborators of us all, and offer, like a ghost, the great gift of infinity."-- back cover
