Written when he was only twenty-seven, Antwerp can be viewed as the Big Bang of Roberto Bola o s fictional universe. This novel presents the genesis of Bola o s enterprise in prose; all the elements are here, highly compressed, at the moment when his talent explodes. From this springboard which Bola o chose to publish in 2002, twenty years after he d written it ( and even that I can t be certain of ) as if testing out a high dive, he would plunge into the unexplored depths of the modern novel.Voices speak from a dream, from a nightmare, from passersby, from an omniscient narrator, from Roberto Bola o. Antwerp s fractured narration in fifty-four sections moves in multiple directions and cuts to the bone.

Revue de presse :

'There is a way in which one wants to read Antwerp as a prayer for something that has long since been fulfilled ... but that would ignore what is most exceptional and moving about it, which is, at its core, an enactment of failure as a test of endurance, courage, and loyalty to one s own originality.' --The Guardian
