This work claims to be biographies of Latin American poets with some Mexican and U.S. poets thrown in.  All the poets have fascist ideas and intentions.  But, here is the problem: about half the biographies have death dates for the poets that fall after the date of first publishing.  Also there is a very detailed and potentially accurate list of Latino poets and their works, but again that post publication death dates.  Bolano is not Nostradamus so I have to believe that some of these Bios are just it would be nice stories, which takes away  from the idea that these are bio's.  The work is all very confusing.
