Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Demy hardback edition of Bolaño's "tour de force", a highly-charged, first-person, semi-hallucinatory novel that embodies in one woman's voice the melancholy and violent recent history of Latin America. 'The most admired novelist in the Spanish speaking world' Susan Sontag

Publisher's description:

It is September 1968 and the Mexican student movement is about to run head-on into the repressive right-wing government of Mexico: hundreds of young people will soon die. When the army invades the university, one woman hides in a fourth-floor ladies' room and for twelve days she is the only person left on campus.
