March 5, 2021 Roberto Bolaño

Germany viii, by Sharon Harper

“I wrote this book for myself, and even that I can’t be sure of. For a long time these were just loose pages that I reread and maybe tinkered with, convinced I had no time. But time for what? I couldn’t say exactly. I wrote this book for the ghosts, who, because they’re outside of time, are the only ones with time.”

—Roberto Bolaño, about his novel Antwerp
