This almost aggressively literary novel, which won major Latin American literary prizes and follows into English translation several briefer works ( Last Evenings on Earth, 2006, etc.), evolves around the professional friendship of poet intellectuals Arturo Belano (an obvious authorial surrogate) and Ulises Lima. Katz served as writer and Executive Producer on the Amazon Original series ZeroZeroZero (Amazon, Sky, Canal +) which he co-created with Leonardo Fasoli and director Stefano Sollima.Ĭurrently, Katz is adapting the beloved novel by Roberto Bolaño, The Savage Detectives for HBO, which will be the network’s first Spanish language dramatic television show.The search for a missing poet is the nominal subject of the late (1953–2003) expatriate Chilean author’s blazingly original 1998 masterpiece. In 2013 Katz moved to Los Angeles, where he’s worked on various Televisions shows such as The Bridge (FX) and most recently served as writer and co-executive producer on Maniac (Netflix) directed by Cary Fukunaga.
