'Now I am a mother and a married woman, but not long ago I led a life of crime'
So begins Bianca's tale of growing up the hard way. Orphaned overnight as a teenager, she drops out of school and drifts into the bad company of two criminals her brother brings home. As the four of them plot a fantastical crime, Bianca learns she can drift even lower...
Electric and tense with foreboding, A Little Lumpen Novelita - one of the last novellas Roberto Bolano published - delivers a fractured fairy tale of taking control of one's fate.
TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER
'Bolano has proven that literature can do everything' The New York Times
'The man was a flat-out genius, one of the greatest writers of our time' Paul Auster
