Bolaño's books are in!

August 6, 2010 Posted by Viva Chile

Look what just came in the mail today!! Farrar, Straus and Giroux, publisher of Roberto Bolaño's 2666 and Savage Detectives kindly donated 3 copies of each to be auctioned off at Viva Chile.

Bolaño was born in Santiago, Chile in 1953. "Well beyond his sometimes nomadic life, Roberto Bolaño was an exemplary literary rebel." -New York Review of Books

Both 2666 and Savage Detectives were translated by Natasha Wimmer.

A BIG thanks to FSG!

VIVA CHILE M**RDA

When news of the earthquake that occurred in Chile this past February first broke, my initial reaction was shock and panic. After getting in touch with family members, those emotions changed to concern and empathy towards the people that had been affected and I was moved to take action. Although it might seem like a challenge to help from over 5,000 miles away, there is much that can be done to help family, friends, and even strangers. Viva Chile is a way to do just that.

Viva Chile will be a night of art and music to help those that lost their homes during the earthquake. It will begin with a silent auction of donated Chilean art, followed by musical performances.

It is my goal to raise enough money to fund this event by asking you for just a dollar. And if you pass this along to your friends, it will make a difference.

For those who would like to contribute more, please check this post out and see what you can get! And if you would like to help out in any way, please don't hesitate to contact at vivachileprjct@gmail.com or via twitter @vivachileprjct.

Thanks and stay tuned for more info,
