The Return is the eagerly anticipated second volume of stories by Roberto Bolaño. Tender or etched in acid; hazily suggestive or chillingly definitive: a trove of strangely arresting, short masterworks.

"The late Bolaño, a Chilean writer whose posthumous reputation only grows as more of his works are translated into English, practiced the short story and the novel with equal genius. This new collection of 13 stories proves to be a defining sampler of Bolaño's style, thematic concerns, and favored character types."
—Brad Hooper, Booklist

"Bolaño has joined the immortals."
—The Washington Post

"Bolaño has proven literature can do anything."
—Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times
