Una clave más del universo literario de Roberto Bolaño, uno de los escritores imprescindibles de la literatura contemporánea en español Este volumen incluye tres nouvelles inéditas -«Patria , «Sepulcros de vaqueros y «Comedia del horror de Francia - en las que está presente lo mejor del genio literario del autor chileno: el Mal, la violencia, la historia, la literatura, la ironÃa, México, Chile, el amor, el suspense, la búsqueda... a lo que se suma alguno de sus personajes más célebres, como el ubicuo detective salvaje Arturo Belano. Hablar de las novelas y los cuentos de Roberto Bolaño como fragmentarios resulta parcial, puesto que cada fragmento depende de una unidad en constante movimiento, en un verdadero proceso de creación que es al mismo tiempo consolidación de un universo. (...) La imaginación desbordada, la intensidad de los sentimientos, la incisiva crÃtica, la febril actividad o los extraños personajes hacen de Sepulcros de vaqueros un libro enormemente atractivo y original.
Del prólogo de Juan Antonio Masoliver Ródenas ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One more journey to the universe of Roberto Bolaño, an essential voice of contemporary Latin American literature Cowboy Graves is an unexpected treasure from the vault of a revolutionary talent. Roberto Bolaño'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--Bolaño'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 Bolaño's extraordinary body of work, echoing the strange characters and uncanny scenes of his triumphs, while deepening our reverence for his gifts.
