The myths surrounding the late Chilean author are false, says Bolaño's friend and fellow novelist, Horacio Castellanos Moya
He's been compared to James Dean and described as the "Kurt Cobain of
Latin-American literature", but the real Roberto Bolaño was very different to the myth created by the North American cultural establishment, according to the author's friend and fellow novelist Horacio Castellanos Moya.
