Excavating an oeuvre

I've not yet picked anything up by the late South American novelist Roberto Bolaño, but five years after his death his full body of work is only now being fully revealed and is still awaiting translation:
  • Monsieur Pain (novel)
  • Antwerp (novel)
  • The Insufferable Gaucho (novel)
  • Parenthetically (essays)
  • Assassin Whores (short stories)
  • Secreto De Mal (posthumous collection of writings-stories, sketches, poems, miscellany)
The titles of Bolaño's works apparently have managed to generate as much attention as the substance of what he writes.
