No pimps or drug dealers on these mean streets; In the Heights is both a hip and an improbably wholesome show, whose moral--like that of Passing Strange--is "There's no place like...
...means it: political and cultural changes, for Bolaño, are not only of equal importance but inseparable, always moving hand-in-hand.“Nazi Literature,” originally published in 1996, is the book that first established Bolaño as an important voice in Latin American literature, but Chris Andrews’ new translation arrives at the apex of Bolaño’s posthumous acclaim in the English-speaking world.
