The Insufferable Gaucho
Roberto Bolaño
Original title
El gaucho insufrible
(Spanish, 2003)
The Insufferable Gaucho is a collection of five short stories and two essays by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño . It was published in English in 2010, translated by Chris Andrews. During his lifetime, Bolaño made his name as a writer of short stories, and The Insufferable Gaucho collects a disparate variety of work. From its comical title story to the Kafkaesque "Police Rat", the book's wide spectrum of storytelling techniques "makes an ideal introduction to the Bolaño imaginaire."
