Cowboy Graves

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.
