Description
In this haunting and spellbinding novel, Roberto Bolaño crafts a powerful ode to youth, life on the margins, and the vibrant, often tumultuous, world of poetry. The narrative centers on Auxilio Lacouture, a Uruguayan-born poet who becomes the enigmatic matriarch and muse to a generation of Mexico City's bohemian literary scene. When a military invasion traps her alone for twelve days, her life story unfolds in a torrent of memories, reflections, and prophecies. "Amulet" is a profound meditation on violence, exile, memory, and history, serving as a poignant requiem for a lost era.
