    “Legendary . . . Bolaño has proven [that literature] can do anything.” —Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review“A supernova of creativity whose light is still arriving at our shores.” —Giles Harvey, The New YorkerOften called the “big bang” of Roberto Bolaño’s universe, Antwerp is his first novel—or the shattered remnants of one. Written when he was just twenty-seven years old, it was so intensely strange and solitary that he tucked it away for more than twenty years, certain that any publisher would slam the door in his face. It proceeds in hallucinatory sketches: a lonely highway, a desolate campground, a freshly abandoned hotel room; a tryst, an interrogation, a murder; and somewhere just out of reach, a young, feverish writer named Roberto Bolaño drifting in and out of view. A radical, sui generis effort by a burgeoning genius, Antwerp is an essential part of Bolaño’s oeuvre.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

    The evils these women have suffered are many. Domestic violence, sexual abuse, murder, and kidnapping is just a glimpse of the skeletons in their closets, the "blemishes" upon their seemingly quiet, undisturbed towns.

A stranger named Bud Atwood answers Violet’s phone call. But he seems as confused as she is. Can she trust him? 
    As Violet fights to keep hope within the walls of the cabin, and Bud chases the mystery in the outside world, it becomes clear that the link between them is far more sinister than they could have imagined. Violet and Bud haven’t met before—but they’re not exactly strangers, either.
