In this volume entitled Cowboy grave, the necessary literary spirit of the ill-fated Chilean genius is recovered. The short novels: Graves of cowboys, Patria and Comedia del horror de Francia make up a very representative scene of the creative genius. Without a doubt, a surprising work, recovered from the deep drawer of the author.
These three short novels are unpublished and their conjunction in this book is of great value in discovering Bolaño's inexhaustible creative capacity. In addition, for those nostalgic for the great character Arturo Belano, he can also be found unraveling wrongdoings. Undoubtedly, a character who ended up marking the author and whose presence in so many of his works seems a necessity, a support for any of his plots to appear brilliant thanks to his characterization.
And it is that the well-known character served Bolaño as a kind of introduction of his own personality in many of his stories. His appearance in the work Estrella Distante, in the mid-90s, marked an indissoluble partnership between the disparate fictions raised by the author.
What we find in this volume, in terms of sustenance itself, is that ability to summarize a living plot with the most transcendent ideas: love, violence, historical aspects ... a sum virtuously combined to hook everyone who came close to their books.
The three short novels also bring the freshness of the brief, with the relief of having new adventures once the first one is over. Of course, the end always comes. The good thing in that case is that you have already had time to enjoy three captivating stories that contribute their critical vision and their art in the recreation of any scene.
