The Insufferable Gaucho Zusammenfassung

The Insufferable Gaucho Roberto Bolano

Unpredictable and daring, highly controlled and yet somehow haywire, the five short stories included here are some of Roberto Bolanos 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 hes 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 Bolanos trademark humour, violence and utter faith in the power of the written word.

The Insufferable Gaucho Bewertungen

A spellbinder * Newsweek *
Bolano 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 Bolano 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 *

Über Roberto Bolano

Roberto Bolano was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953. He grew up in Chile and Mexico City. His first full-length novel, The Savage Detectives won the Herralde Prize and the Romulo Gallegos Prize and Natasha Wimmers translation of The Savage Detectives was chosen as one of the ten best books of 2007 by the Washington Post and the New York Times. The Insufferable Gaucho was the last book he prepared for publication before he died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty. Described by the New York Times as "the most significant Latin American literary voice of his generation", in 2008 he was posthumously awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for his novel 2666.
