ABSTRACT
This chapter tells that class and race become more blatant than in Roberto Bolano's and his representation of sexual violence against women. Mexico, a country that during his stay in 1938 struck Andre Breton as the most 'surreal' in the world, becomes the stage for the gendered sexual terror in Roberto Bolano's narrative. In Nazi Literature in the Americas, he traces the imaginary lives of far-right 'artistic' fascists in North and South America. One of the most sinister characters, Ramirez Hoffman, is suspected of having participated in the filming of pornographic movies and killing all the actors, here the genre is called 'hard core criminal' that is to say, porn movies with real crimes. Because of global capitalism's pervasiveness, women now constitute the bulk of the workforce worldwide, so this trend has forced neo-conservative patriarchal societies to rethink gender roles and the family as women increasingly challenge men's privileged position of sole economic providers.
