Amuleto is a novel by the acclaimed Chilean author Roberto Bolaño. The story follows Auxilio Lacouture, a Uruguayan woman living in Mexico City, who calls herself 'the mother of all Mexicans.' Her life changes drastically on September 18, 1968, when she becomes trapped in the bathrooms of the National Autonomous University of Mexico during the military occupation of the campus. Throughout her thirteen days of confinement, the protagonist reflects on her past, the city's literary bohemian scene, and the uncertain future of a country marked by history. This work is a profound and poetic testimony that intertwines personal memory with the political events of the time.
