David Kurnick argues that the controversies surrounding Roberto Bolaño’s life and work have obscured his achievements—and that The Savage Detectives is still underappreciated for the subtlety and vitality of its portrait of collective life. He explores the novel as an epic of social structure and its decomposition. $20.00 / £14.99 paper 978-0-231-19411-2 $80.00 / £62.00 cloth 978-0-231-19410-5 February 2022 224 pages

To Write as if Already Dead circles around Kate Zambreno’s failed attempts to write a study of Hervé Guibert’s To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life. Zambreno, who has been pushing the boundaries of literary form for a decade, investigates Guibert’s methods by adopting them, offering a keen sense of the energy and confessional force of his work. $18.00 / £14.99 paper 978-0-231-18845-6 $70.00 / £58.00 cloth 978-0-231-18844-9 2021 192 pages
