Roberto Bolaño, who wrote the majority of his 10 novels and collections of stories in the final years of his life (he died in 2003, of chronic liver failure, still writing the ending words to his masterwork, “2666”), has crossed over from literary folk hero to mainstream celebrity. Days after “2666” was published in English, in November, 2008, Farrar, Straus and Giroux (FSG), his North American publisher, rushed out a second printing. Lorin Stein, editor at FSG, has called him an “intellectual Harry Potter.”
