«En stjerne i det fjerne» is the novel by Roberto Bolaño (original: «Estrella distante»), published by Cappelen Damm in hardcover (160 pages, in Norwegian).
Set in Chile shortly before the coup against President Allende, the novel follows a group of left-wing idealists who meet to discuss poetry and politics. At the center is an enigmatic poet and aviator, and his story intertwines with political violence in a reflection on art, memory and terror.
The Norwegian edition was published in 2016; the original work appeared in Spanish in 1996.
For readers of literary fiction and Latin American narrative who want a short novel about the relationship between art, politics and violence.
