Book Synopsis

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
