Peter Orner has some dangerous habits — like reading at traffic lights. He talks with Mark Athitakis about the life of an unusually enthusiastic reader and his new book “Am I Alone Here”?
Between Parentheses: Essays, Articles And Speeches, 1998-2003
Now in paperback — the sole collection of the great Chilean writer’s essaysBetween Parentheses collects Roberto Bolaño’s nonfiction: fiercely opinionated articles, speeches, essays, and talks, as well as most of the newspaper columns he wrote during the last five years of his life, when fame had come to him at last. Here we have a tender account of his return to Chile, reflections on family life, impassioned takes on books by writers Bolaño admired (or vehemently despised), and advice on how to write a short story. Between Parentheses fully lives up to Bolaño’s own demands: “I ask for creativity from literary criticism, creativity on all levels.”
