The Insufferable Gaucho ("El Gaucho Insufrible", 2003) is a collection of five short stories and two essays by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño (1953–2003). It was 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. 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"." The year after its publication, Bolaño was posthumously awarded in Chile for this work with the Altazor Prize in the "Narrative" category.
