About the Book

"Ahora no hay tiempo para aburrirse, la felicidad desapareció en algún lugar de la tierra y solo queda el asombro".

En esta frase, pronunciada por el protagonista de uno de los relatos incluidos en Putas asesinas, reside la esencia que atraviesa todo el libro. En él, Roberto Bolaño trata algunos de los temas que conforman su universo literario y que están, por tanto, entretejidos en los argumentos de sus obras más emblemáticas: la sexualidad; las vidas de seres comunes --como el propio autor o como sus lectores--, a medio camino entre lo extraordinario y lo cotidiano, entre la rebeldía y la vulnerabilidad; el poder subversivo de la literatura; el viaje como huida; la necesidad de develar lo incierto; la juventud; la violencia, y la lucha del desarraigado por encontrar un espacio propio en un lugar ajeno.

Putas asesinas es el último libro de cuentos publicado en vida de Roberto Bolaño. Escritos con el estilo inconfundible que caracteriza al autor chileno, en ellos se mezcla la desolación y el humor, el lirismo y la autobiografía, la ruptura con la tradición y el homenaje a los maestros. El mejor Bolaño, el que en 2001 ya se había consagrado como uno de los escritores en español más importantes del siglo XX, está presente en cada página.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In this book, Roberto Bolaño, consecrated as one of the most important writers in Spanish of the 20th century, deals with some of the themes that make up his literary universe and that are knitted in the subject matters of his most emblematic works: sexuality; the lives of ordinary people; somewhere in the middle between rebellion and vulnerability; the subversive power of literature; the trip as an escape; the need to reveal the uncertain; youth; violence; and the struggle of the uprooted to find their own space in a foreign place.

Murdering Whores is the last book of short stories published by Roberto Bolaño before his death. Written with the unmistakable style that characterizes the Chilean author, he combines misery and humor, lyricism and autobiography, a break with tradition, and a tribute to teachers.
