One more journey to the universe of Roberto Bolano, an essential
voice of contemporary Latin American literature Cowboy Graves is an
unexpected treasure from the vault of a revolutionary talent.
Roberto Bolano'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--Bolano'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 Bolano's extraordinary body of work, echoing the
strange characters and uncanny scenes of his triumphs, while
deepening our reverence for his gifts.
