Details

Synopsis It's 1968 and the Mexican government has occupied the National University in Mexico City. Only one citizen has remained on campus, a Uruguayan woman named Auxilio Lacouture who has locked herself in a bathroom filled with poetry books. As violence rages in the streets outside, Lacouture narrates a lyrical and sprawling account of Mexico's cultural moment. Typical of Roberto Bolano's novels, AMULET teems with a profusion of poets, activists, criminals, intellectuals, and lunatics. He takes a singular literary voice in isolation, and uses it to captures the vast energy and paranoia of Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s.
