"Reading Roberto Bolano is like . . . watching the tracks of art and life merge at the horizon and linger there like a dream from which we awake inspired to look more attentively at the world." -Francine Prose, The New York Times
"We savor all he has written, as every offering is a portal into the elaborate terrain of his genius." -Patti Smith
An aging judge retires from Buenos Aires to the family ranch in the Pampas to battle feral rabbits and reclaim the dignity of the gaucho life. An obscure Argentinian writer journeys to Paris to face down the filmmaker who has made a career out of plagiarizing his novels. An intrepid detective investigates a series of grisly murders-among his fellow sewer rats. Riffing on Borges and Kafka, yet utterly and inimitably Roberto Bolano, these stories testify to his mastery of the short form. Rounding out the collection are two of his most provocative and piercing essays, "Literature + Illness = Illness" and "The Myths of Cthulhu," each crackling with his signature black humor and incomparable powers of perception and critique. The Insufferable Gaucho is an essential part of the Bolano oeuvre.
