Amulet

Blurb

Amulet is a short novel by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño. It was published in 1999. An English translation, by Chris Andrews, was published by New Directions in 2006.
The book is dedicated to the author's poet friend Mario Santiago Papasquiaro, who died the year it was being written; as "Ulises Lima", Santiago was prominently featured in The Savage Detectives and gets a cameo in this story.
