Germany in pieces

Main Article Content

Joaquín Manzi
After tracking down German spaces and cultural models in Roberto Bolaño’s narrative, this article analyses linguistic and textual ways in which they fictionally arise, disappear and reappear. With Jorge Luis Borges and Philip K. Dick as mid-century references, the most relevant experiences of alteration and alterity that this fictional Germany forged between 1980 and 2003 in Bolaño’s creative process are cross-examined, for they become a decisive element in the constitution of his own Latin-American literary identity.
