Woes of the True Policeman is a novel written by Chilean author Roberto BolaƱo and published posthumously. The novel was first released in Spanish in 2011. Larry Rohter in his review of the English translation in The New York Times said, "The novel offers readers plot lines and characters that supplement or propose variations on Mr. BolaƱoās 900-page magnum opus, 2666". An English-language translation by Natasha Wimmer was published in the US on November 13, 2012, by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. An editorial note appended to the book by BolaƱoās widow describes it as āa project that was begun in the 1980s and continued to be a work in progress up until the year 2003 [...] this edition was undertaken with the unwavering intent to respect BolaƱoās work and the firm pledge to offer the reader the novel as it had been found in his files.āā Wikipedia
