Beskrivning

Three fiercely original tales. An unexpected treasure from the vault of a revolutionary talent.Roberto Bolaño's boundless gift for shaping the chaos of reality into fiction is unmistakable across these three novellas. In ‘Cowboy Graves,’ Arturo Belano – Bolaño's alter ego – returns to Chile after the coup to fight with his comrades for socialism. ‘French Comedy of Horrors’ finds a seventeen-year-old recruited into a secret society of artists in the sewers of Paris. And in ‘Fatherland,’ a young poet reckons with the fascist overthrow of his country, as the woman he is obsessed with disappears in the ensuing violence.TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER‘His work is as vital, thrilling and life-enhancing as anything in modern fiction’ Sunday Times‘Fascinating... A rare opportunity for the reader to witness the creation of a seemingly inexhaustible body of work’ El Pais

Bolaño died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty, just as his writing found global recognition.Natasha Wimmer (Translator) Natasha Wimmer is the translator of nine books by Roberto Bolaño, including The Savage Detectives and 2666.

Recensioner i media

The Savage Detectives may have made Bolaño’s name, but his posthumous publications—from the galactic 2666 to the winsome Spirit of Science Fiction—have cemented his legend. He left behind a vault to rival Prince’s 'Paisley Park'. . . . The effect of Cowboy Graves is less the piecing together of a puzzle than the recentering of a whole, mythic world.
