"Distant Star" is a novel by Roberto Bolaño that delves into themes of art, violence, and the disillusionment of the modern world. Set in 1970s Chile, it follows the story of a young poet named Arturo Belano (a recurring character in Bolaño’s works), who becomes entangled with the mysterious and charismatic poet, César Vallejo. Vallejo, who presents himself as a figure of great significance in the literary world, is involved in a series of disturbing events that blur the lines between political idealism and brutal violence. Through the lens of Belano, the novel explores the consequences of blind political belief and the moral ambiguities surrounding the pursuit of truth and artistic expression. Bolaño’s characteristic blending of personal and political history creates a portrait of a world haunted by its past.
