The Insufferable Gaucho (El Gaucho Insufrible, 2003) is a collection of short stories by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño, published in English in 2010, translated by Chris Andrews. During his lifetime, Bolaño made his name as a writer of short stories, and The Insufferable Gaucho collects a disparate variety of work.[1] From its comical title story to the Kafkaesque "Police Rat", the book's wide spectrum of storytelling techniques "makes an ideal introduction to the Bolaño imaginaire."[1]
