"Begun in the 1980s and worked on until the author's death in 2003, Woes of the True Policeman is Roberto Bolaño's last, unfinished novel. The novel follows Óscar Amalfitano - an exiled Chilean university professor and widower - through the maze of his revolutionary past, his relationship with his teenage daughter, Rosa, his passion for a former student, and his retreat from scandal in Barcelona. Forced to leave Barcelona for Santa Teresa, a Mexican city close to the U.S. border where women are being killed in unprecedented numbers, Amalfitano soon begins an affair with Castillo, a young forger of Larry Rivers paintings. Meanwhile, Rosa, Amalfitano's daughter, engages in her own epistolary romance with a basketball player from Barcelona, while still trying to cope with her mother's early death and her father's secrets. After finding Castillo in bed with her father, Rosa is forced to confront her own crisis. What follows is an intimate police investigation of Amalfitano that involves a series of dark twists, culminating in a finale full of euphoria and heartbreak. Featuring characters and stories from his other books, "Woes of the True Policeman" invites the reader more than ever into the world of Roberto Bolaño. It is an exciting, kaleidoscopic novel, lyrical and intense, yet darkly humorous. Exploring the roots of memory and the limits of art, Woes of the True Policeman marks the culmination of one of the great careers of world literature."@en
"The novel follows Amalfitano--an exiled Chilean university professor and widower with a teenage daughter--as his political disillusionment and love of poetry lead to the scandal that will force him to flee from Barcelona and take him to Santa Teresa, Mexico. This border town is haunted by dark tales of murdered women and populated by characters such as Sorcha, who fought in the Andalusia Blue Division in the Spanish Civil War, and Castillo, who makes his living selling his forgeries of Larry Rivers paintings to wealthy Texans. It is here that Amalfitano meets Arcimboldi, a magician and writer whose work highlights the provisional and fragile nature of literature and life."@en

""An unfinished masterpiece from the author of THE SAVAGE DETECTIVES and 2666"--"
"Amalfitano, ein linker Literaturwissenschaftler aus Chile, lebt nach dem Tod seiner Frau mit Tochter Rosa in Barcelona. Sein spätes Coming-Out und Liaisons mit Studenten sorgen an der Universität für einen Skandal, sodass Vater und Tochter nach Mexiko auswandern, ins Nirgendwo der Grenzstadt Santa Teresa. Hier liest Amalfitano die 'imaginären Romane' des Schriftstellers J.G. Arcimboldi und verliebt sich in den Kunstfälscher Castillo, während Polizeichef Negrete ihn und Rosa längst scheinbar grundlos beschattet. In seinem letzten unvollendeten Roman erkundet Bolaño wie in seinem Jahrhundertwerk '2666' literarisches Neuland - ein Feuerwerk aus Humor, Fantasie und abgründigem Witz. Roberto Bolaño, 1953 in Chile geboren und nach dem Militärputsch von 1973 inhaftiert, ging ins Exil nach Mexiko und 1976 nach Spanien. 2003 starb er in Barcelona. Er erhielt zahlreiche Literaturpreise, darunter den National Book Critics Circle Award für die amerikanische Ausgabe seines Romans 2666."
