Antwerp (Amberes in Spanish) is a novella by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño.
The book shows various traces of stories that are intertwined in a confusing way, using an experimental language, more of a poetic narrative than in the rest of his novels.
Its title refers to the Belgian city of Antwerp, although it does not play any role in the work.
Antwerp is short and fragmentary, composed of 56 pieces (which could be seen as vignettes or sketches) with a loose narrative structure.
Many of the subjects dealt with become Bolaño's common material for his other works of fiction - crimes and campgrounds, drifters and poetry, sex and love, corrupt cops and misfits.
