Staring at the floor, she begins a heartfelt and feverish tale she is the Mother of Mexican poetry. A highly charged firstperson semihallucinatory novella, Amulet is a potent stream of consciousness through which the poets of Mexico rage and swirl. Filled with wild, dark literary prophecies, heroic poets, mad poets, artists choked by the brilliance of youth, Auxilios passionate narration both heartbreaking and lyrical is suffused with the essence of Roberto Bolaos art.
