SUMMARY:

Monsieur Pain and Amuleto represent two distinct points in Roberto Bolaño's work: the first is set in Paris in 1938, about to be invaded by Nazi Germany, and the second, a novel that arises from a larger work and takes place in the year 1968, set in Mexico City, on the day the UNAM was invaded by the Mexican army. Even so, without any direct connection, the novels can be taken as starting points for a reflection that is tensioned throughout the author's work: the fragment as the raw material of violence. In this way, this paper aims to analyze how the Chilean author's work, emphasizing these two novels, outlines these contours between a fractal form and the continuity of violence in the twentieth century, without imposing direct opposition, but using the fictionalization of experiences as a mediator of a historical understanding of the loss of meaning in late modernity by overcoming 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, Juan José Saer, and Paul Ricouer, to develop an ethical and aesthetic reflection on 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 propelling these fictional voices to the "limit" of a representation of the barbarity of history.
