Forever open, and forever becoming, these stories make collaborators of us all, and offer, like a ghost, the great gift of infinity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoberto Bolaño \u003c\/b\u003e(1953-2003) was the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Savage Detectives \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003e2666\u003c\/i\u003e, among many other notable works.
