Tres is a collection of poems by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño, originally published in Spanish in 2000 and scheduled to be published in a bilingual edition in September 2011, translated into English by Laura Healy. The collection is composed of three sections:“Prose from Autumn in Gerona” - a series of film songs in prose that slowly reveals a subtle and emotional story about unrequited love. “The Neochileans” - a travel narrative in verse concerned with a young band on tour in the far reaches of Chile. It's a kind of "On the Road" in lyrics. “A Stroll Through Literature” - a series of short poems. This poems reminds us of Bolaño's great ability to walk the line between the seriously comic and the comically serious.
