Cowboy Graves by Roberto Bolao
One more journey to the universe of Roberto Bola o, an essential voice of contemporary Latin American literature Cowboy Graves is an unexpected treasure from the vault of a revolutionary talent. Roberto Bola o's boundless imagination and seemingly inexhaustible gift for shaping the chaos of his reality into fiction is unmistakable in these three novellas. In Cowboy Graves, Arturo Belano--Bola o's alter ego--returns to Chile after the coup to fight with his comrades for socialism. French Comedy of Horrors takes the reader to French Guiana on the night after an eclipse where a seventeen year old answers a pay phone and finds himself recruited into the Clandestine Surrealist Group, a secret society of artists based 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 and a Third Reich fighter plane mysteriously writes her poetry in the sky overhead. These three fiercely original tales bear the signatures of Bola o's extraordinary body of work, echoing the strange characters and uncanny scenes of his triumphs, while deepening our reverence for his gifts.Roberto Bolao (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and resided in Mexico, France, and Spain later in his life. He has been praised as the most interesting writer to emerge from south of the Rio Grande in a long time (Los Angeles Times) and as the real deal and the rarest (Susan Sontag). The famous Premio Herralde de Novela and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos are among his many awards. He is usually regarded as the generation's greatest Latin American writer. The Romantic Dogs, 2666, The Spirit of Science Fiction, By Night in Chile, Distant Star, Last Evenings on Earth, and The Savage Detectives are among his works.
