Bolaño’s big risk was turning his back on being “merely” a Latin American. After he won the prestigious Rómulo Gallegos Prize for The Savage Detectives, he commented that “a writer’s homeland is … his tongue”. But, characteristically, he then undercut this, saying that “sometimes … a writer’s only homeland is … his courage”. It’s a statement that rings true in relation to 2666. And Bolaño, ever ready with a jest, couldn’t resist adding: “I feel like Pinocchio.” It is by being brave and truthful, he proposes, that we get to be real.
