Udo Berg, ambitious war game enthusiast. This summer, he and his girlfriend went on vacation to the Spanish seaside town where they had often visited since childhood. Here they met Hannah and Charlie, a couple also from Germany, as well as three locals, Wolfgang, Lambert, and Kesdor, a boat watcher who lived on the beach. However, not long after, Charlie disappeared after a surfing trip. The bright holiday was gradually enveloped by a gloomy atmosphere. Charlie's life and death were uncertain, and Hannah decided to return to Germany. Ingeborg also believed that they should leave as soon as possible to return to the country, but Udo seemed to be tripped by something invisible. He was determined to wait until Charlie's body appeared before returning to the country. At the same time, Udo discovered that Keshador seemed to have a strong interest in war games, so he invited him to play the "Third Reich" war game with the theme of "World War II". The holiday is coming to an end, the tourists are gradually leaving, the town is becoming more and more deserted, and there is still no news from Charlie. The game between Udo and Kesado continues. Kesado, who had no knowledge of war games before, gradually turned the tide of the war. Weird dreams and uneasy conjectures entangle Udo. Is there really any unknown power in "The Third Reich"?

"American Nazi Literature" is a fake dictionary of writers that includes 30 right-wing writers from the American continent and fictionalizes their lives and works. From the beginning of the 20th century to the middle of the 21st century, Bolaño used his calm and playful attitude to construct a bizarre scene spanning hundreds of years of the American continent, mocking the literary villains, eccentrics, liars, lunatics, and mystics.

"The Last Night on Earth" consists of fourteen stories. The protagonist of most of the stories is B: a Chilean exile who wanders aimlessly in South America and Europe. It connects the stories of other people of his generation. Almost all of them are a generation of people who have been disillusioned in their exile life, struggling on the edge and trapped in nightmares. These people are like in a dream, constantly changing their images, names or backgrounds in different stories. Critics generally believe that Bolaño's proficiency in short stories is comparable to that of Kafka and Borges.

Distant Stars is the story of one such man, an imposter (aren't we all at some point in our lives?), An impostor (aren't we all at some point in our lives?) We meet through countless forks in the paths of history, mythology and literature. The legend of a man with many names, a man with no morals except aesthetics (isn't that what all artists strive for?), A terrifying playboy, murderer and photographer, a savage artist who continued to create until the end of his life.

Madero, a seventeen-year-old Mexican law student, loves poetry and often skips classes to participate in poetry class discussions. There he met Bellano and Lima, who regarded themselves as instinctive realist poets. They hang out with other poets and artists, debate poetry in bars, and have plenty of marijuana, alcohol, and sex. The spiritual leader of the school of poetry, the poetess Tina Jero, is said to have disappeared many years ago in the Sonora Desert north of Mexico City. Partly for their ideals and partly to avoid their enemies, they decided to go deep into the desert to search for her traces, accompanied by the prostitute Lupe.
