SUMMARY:

Monsieur Pain and Amuleto represent two distinct points in Roberto Bolaño's work: the first set in 1938 Paris, about to be invaded by Nazi Germany, the second, a novel that arises from a larger work and takes place in the year of 1968, set in Mexico City, the day the UNAM was invaded by the Mexican army. Even so, without appearing to be a direct link, they can be taken as starting points for a tense reflection throughout the author's work: the fragment as the raw material of violence. In this way, this work aims to analyze how the work of the Chilean author, emphasizing these two novels, outlines these contours between a fractal form and the continuity of violence in the 20th century, without imposing direct opposition to them, but using the fictionalization of the experiences as a mediator of a historical understanding of the loss of meaning in late modernity by suppressing contradictory elements in this compositional process. Thus, to develop this reflection, we start with authors such as Theodor W. Adorno, Idelber Avelar, Walter Benjamin, Bolívar Echeverría, Jeanne Marie Gagnebin, Edward Said, Juan José Saer and Paul Ricouer, in order to develop an ethical and aesthetic reflection of how the so-called western “progress” leads us to this point of tension and rupture that becomes an ethos of late modernity and, in a second moment, to understand how both works absorb these discussions pushing these fictional voices to the “limit” of historical barbarism.
