Chilean writer Roberto Bolano, widely considered to be the greatest Latin American writer of his generation, died in 2010. Eleven years later, Cowboy Graves: Three Novellas, has been published from work in his archivestranslated by Natasha Wimmer. The title story, “Cowboy Graves,” has the protagonist returning to Chile after the military coup to fight for socialism. In the second story, “French Comedy of Horrors,” the protagonist is recruited into the Clandestine Surrealist Group, a secret society based in the sewers of Paris. The third story, “Fatherland,” is a series of snippets organized around the fascist overthrow of Chile. All of the work is very surreal and political. Here’s what Kirkus Reviews says:
