Fikcionalizacija nacističke ideologije u romanima Roberta Bolanja
The Fictionalization of Nazi Ideology in Roberto Bolaño’s Novels

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the fictionalization of Nazi ideology in the Roberto Bolaño’s novels. The corpus includes three novels: The Third Reich (1989), Nazi Literature in the Americas (1996) and Distant Star (1996). We will employ comparative method in order to analyze the literary devices used by Bolaño as a way of elaborating the question of Nazi ideology. We will focus on the representation of nazism, fictional nazi characters and the relation between this topic and other preoccupations of Bolaño’s work. Our hypothesis is that, besides the art, the political and historical reality is the main obsession in the opus of Bolaño. The three selected novels will be observed as three models of the fictionalization of Nazi ideology: ludic, pseudoliterary-scientific and avant-garde. Through the examples from the novels, we will explain why the nazism holds the central position in Bolaño’s work and how this author transforms the fiction into reality and vice versa.
