——————————————————————
"The Last Night on Earth" consists of fourteen stories, most of which revolve around "B," a Chilean exile who wanders aimlessly through South America and Europe. He weaves together the stories of his contemporaries, nearly all disillusioned members of a generation in exile, struggling on the margins, trapped in nightmares. These individuals, like those in a dream, constantly change their appearance, name, or background from story to story. Critics generally agree that Bolaño's mastery of the short story rivals that of Kafka and Borges.
