I was reading some poetry and came across the word Atlántida, which I was able to translate but not really make sense of in context. It's from Roberto Bolaño's Tres:
"La sombra que provisionalmente llamas autor apenas se molesta en describir cómo la desconocida arregló todo para su momento Atlántida."
From what I could find, Atlántida means Atlantis, and it's also the name of an epic Catalan poem by Jacint Berdaguer, but I couldn't really figure out what "su momento Atlántida" might mean. I'd appreciate any insight!
