Articoli correlati a The Insufferable Gaucho
Unpredictable and daring, highly controlled and yet somehow haywire, the five short stories included here are some of Roberto Bolano's best. Whether they concern a stalwart rodent detective trying to investigate the mysterious deaths of his fellow rats, an elderly judge giving up his job in the city for an improbable return to the family farm in the pampas, or a confrontation between an elusive film-maker and the little-known Argentinian novelist whose work he's plagiarized for years, they are as haunting as they are enthralling. In addition, The Insufferable Gaucho offers, for the first time in English, two essays: `Literature + Illness = Illness' and `The Myths of Cthulhu'. Provocative and often scathing, these essays are alive with Bolano's trademark humour, violence and utter faith in the power of the written word.

Recensione:
A spellbinder (Newsweek)
Bolaņo wrote with the high-voltage first-person braininess of a Saul Bellow and an extreme subversive vision of his own (New York Times Magazine)
An exemplary literary rebel (New York Review of Books)
A master of the short form . . . I wish Bolaņo would continue to write stories . . . He is clearly in his flow, poking fun not only at others but also at himself. His heavenly distance has given him a clear-eyed, if mischievous perspective (Independent)

A treasure trove of strange, arresting, short masterworks from the genius that is Roberto Bolaņo.
