The Insufferable Gaucho

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

By (author): Roberto Bolaño

Translated by: Chris Andrews

As Pankaj Mishra remarked in The Nation, one of the remarkable qualities of Bolanos short stories is that they can do the work of a novel. The Insufferable Gaucho contains tales bent on returning to haunt you. Unpredictable and daring, highly controlled yet somehow haywire, a Bolano story might concern an elusive plagiarist or an elderly lawyer giving up city life for an improbable return to the family estate, now gone to wrack and ruin. Bolanos stories have been applauded as bleakly luminous and perfectly calibrated (Publishers Weekly) and complex and provocative (International Herald Tribune), and as Francine Prose said in The New York Times Book Review, something extraordinarily beautiful and (at least to me) entirely new. Two fascinating essays are also included. See more
