The Savage Detectives may have made Bolaño’s name, but his posthumous publications—from the galactic 2666 to the winsome Spirit of Science Fiction—have cemented his legend. He left behind a vault to rival Prince’s 'Paisley Park'. . . . The effect of Cowboy Graves is less the piecing together of a puzzle than the recentering of a whole, mythic world.
The New York Times Book Review
"Bolaño readers can survey [Cowboy Graves] to glimpse into his artistic process, into the fountain of his creativity. . . . One of Bolaño’s great narrative skills is his ability to casually express the enigma of life, the lacuna between humanity’s capacity for comprehension and the world’s unknowable. . . . His writing is global and encyclopedic, curative and addictive, and vibrant and visceral.
Los Angeles Review of Books
Cowboy Graves contains writing completed over a period of 10 years, and features many of the touchstones Bolaño was known for: semi-autobiographical narration; a humorous, fragmentary style; and the sort of intrigue that grabs hold of you and never lets go, despite offering no easy answers.
Chicago Review of Books
Companionable, exotic, witty and glamorously suggestive.
The Guardian
Bolaño's brilliant oeuvre expands with another bright starburst, this one comprising three separate yet thematically connected novellas...Bolaño's inimitable style and searing vision will appeal to fans and new readers alike.
Booklist
Each story reveals a centrifugal writer with a brilliant command of words and no fear of a plot’s getting away from him.
