In an interview Bolaño stated that he made this decision because he felt responsible for the future financial well-being of his family, which he knew he could never secure from the earnings of a poet. He continued with his poetry, before shifting to fiction in his early forties. Bolaño moved to Europe in 1977, and finally made his way to Spain, where he married and settled on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona, working as a dishwasher, a campground custodian, bellhop and garbage collector - working during the day and writing at night. For most of his early adulthood, Bolaño was a vagabond, living at one time or another in Chile, Mexico, El Salvador, France and Spain.

The plot is a solar system picaresque, a form of science fiction in which the (often roguish or underworld) protagonist goes (or more commonly, is sent) on a tour of the planets, moons, and space habitats of the solar system. The inheritors of humanity’s stellar empire are its former servants: artificially intelligent cyborgs, robots, and other machines. Which is to say, the setting is post-human, a future in which humans have gone extinct (for reasons which remain somewhat mysterious). Saturn’s Children is a post-human solar system picaresque. Still, it’s interesting to think about how and why it goes so wrong. This is a bit of a disaster of a book, an example of how an author’s reflexes and obsessions can pull in the opposite direction from the story he is ostensibly attempting to tell.

Tim Winton was born in Perth, Western Australia, but moved at a young age to the small country town of Albany. Full of Winton’s lyrical genius for conveying physical sensation, Breath is a rich and atmospheric coming-of-age tale from one of world literature’s finest storytellers. But where is all this heading? Why is their mentor’s past such forbidden territory? And what can explain his American wife’s peculiar behavior? Venturing beyond all limits-in relationships, in physical challenge, and in sexual behavior-there is a point where oblivion is the only outcome. The grown man initiates the boys into a kind of Spartan ethos, a regimen of risk and challenge, where they test themselves in storm swells on remote and shark-infested reefs, pushing each other to the edges of endurance, courage, and sanity. Together they form an odd but elite trio. On the wild, lonely coast of Western Australia, two thrillseeking and barely adolescent boys fall into the enigmatic thrall of veteran big-wave surfer Sando. It’s a story of extremes-extreme sports and extreme emotions. Breath is an extraordinary evocation of an adolescence spent resisting complacency, testing one’s limits against nature, finding like-minded souls, and discovering just how far one breath will take you.
