“The insufferable gaucho,” by Roberto Bolaño has a little of everything: it’s a western (of the Pampas variety), it’s got a rather Monty Pythonesque rabbit moment, it’s got Borges wandering around in the shadows, it’s got a Marquezian dilapidation of society, a sort of devolution of humanity. Go ahead—don’t be afraid of what Stephen King says about short stories.

That was enough for me this week. Besides, someone stole my magazine before I could finish reading it.
