Présentation The Insufferable Gaucho de bolaño roberto Format Broché
- Livre
Résumé : 'His work is as vital, thrilling and life-enhancing as anything in modern fiction' Sunday Times Roberto Bola?o's place as a giant of Latin American literature was confirmed by the publication of his posthumous masterpiece, 2666. The Insufferable Gaucho was the last book he prepared for publication before he died in 2003. Unpredictable and daring, highly controlled and yet somehow haywire, the five short stories included here are some of Bola?o's best. Whether they concern a stalwart rodent detective trying to investigate the mysterious deaths of his fellow rats, an elderly judge giving up his job in the city for an improbable return to the family farm in the Pampas, or a confrontation between an elusive film-maker and the little-known Argentinian novelist whose work he's plagiarized for years, they are as haunting as they are enthralling. In addition, two essays are included: provocative and often scathing, they too are alive with Bola?o's trademark humour, violence and utter faith in the power of the written word. 'A superb introduction - a kind of tasting menu - to a writer of distinction and range' Times Literary Supplement
Biographie:
Roberto Bola?o was born in Santiago, Chile, in 1953. He grew up in Chile and Mexico City. His first full-length novel, The Savage Detectives won the Herralde Prize and the R?mulo Gallegos Prize and Natasha Wimmer's translation of The Savage Detectives was chosen as one of the ten best books of 2007 by the Washington Post and the New York Times. The Insufferable Gaucho was the last book he prepared for publication before he died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty. Described by the New York Times as the most significant Latin American literary voice of his generation, in 2008 he was posthumously awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for his novel 2666.
