Picador has decided to basically publish everything Roberto Bolaño wrote, diagnosis including one we haven’t seen before: The Third Reich.
Baggaley bought The Third Reich, page a novel completed by Bolaño shortly before his death in 2003 and as yet unpublished in any language, from Sarah Chalfant at the Wylie Agency. It will be published in 2011.
Between this and the New Yorker announcing David Foster Wallace’s unfinished novel, The Pale King, and Nabokov’s The Original of Laura debacle, we are really in posthumous novel season.
