Sneak preview of Tres


31. I dreamt that Earth was finished. And the only human being to contemplate the end was Franz Kafka. In heaven, the Titans were fighting to the death. From a wrought-iron seat in Central Park, Kafka was watching the world burn.


For a limited period, a preview of poems from Bolaño's Tres can be accessed online at BOMB Magazine, Issue 115/Spring 2011.

The link is made available through subscription to FSG's Work in Progress. To subscribe, just sign up here.

Tres, translated by Laura Healy, is coming in September from New Directions.
