"One of the more colorful gods in the pantheon of international literary myth . . . [Bolaño] follows his restless talent down every available rabbit hole." --Sam Anderson, New York

"When I read Roberto Bolaño, I think: Everything is possible again." --Nicole Krauss, author of To Be a Man

. . . because stories like this don't have an ending . . .

Gathering the short works, in various states of completion, found on Roberto Bolaño's computer shortly after his death, Posthumous Stories is animated by indeterminacy. Fragments of fantasies, memories, monologues, fears, and dreams proceed one into the other, seeming neither to begin nor to end. Each is haunted by time: its tick, its weight, its eternity. Forever open, and forever becoming, these stories make collaborators of us all, and offer, like a ghost, the great gift of infinity.
