In 'By Night in Chile', Roberto Bolaño introduces us to Sebastián Urrutia Lacroix, a Chilean priest and literary critic, a member of Opus Dei and a mediocre poet, who on a feverish night reviews the most significant moments of his life. Through his memories, the novel explores themes such as intellectual complicity during the Pinochet dictatorship, the relationship between literature and power, and the fragility of memory. With a unique narrative style and captivating prose, Bolaño immerses us in a world of shadows and contradictions, where lucidity mixes with delirium and reality merges with nightmare.
