Roberto Bola? has attained an almost mythical stature and is often considered the most influential Latin American writer of his generation.

With a special emphasis on his masterpieces: 2666, The Savage Detectives, By Night in Chile, and Distant Star, the essays address topics such as Borges's influence and the role of repetition, social memory, allegory, and neoliberalism.
