$15.00A wild, funny, breathtaking novel about the ragtag members of an obscure literary movement and their varying escapades, starting in Mexico City circa 1975 and spreading around the world, to the end of the century. The late Bolano, a Chilean, was a master of the written word, and Natasha Wimmer (whose work is showcased in the book) is his best English translator. That he is no longer writing is to our detriment. A phenomenal read, HIGHLY recommended.

Book of the Unknown contains stories of 12 of the 36 anonymous saints from Jewish folklore; they show how these righteous individuals and unlikely saints (a liar, a cheat, a degenerate, a whore) ultimately make the world a better place. Keats’ book explores not only the uncertainty of morality but also the limits of judgment.
