(the Last Interview book series did one with Bolano, and it works as a great primer if you wanted to build up a massive backlog of literature to read-Spanish language in particular, but not limited to that). You can tell they are full of in jokes and references, particularly to other writers, and most of those go right over my head.
Most deal with Latin America (the people, the literature, the politics), and while you don't need to know a whole lot about this to enjoy them, suspect having general reference points helps. His books are pretty varied, which is interesting as most were written in relatively quick space of time. I have read it all, and really rate Bolano, so he is someone well worth exploring.
