Description
A volume that gathers all the story colections published by one of the most important contemporary writers in Spanish, Roberto Bolaño, winner of the Herralde awards, the Rómulo Gallegos award, the Salambó award, the Altazor award, the National Book Critics Award, and the City of Barcelona award, among others.
(Title translates to: Complete Stories)
The short stories of Bolaño condense, in the brief space that characterizes the genre, all of his
literary universe. As one of the most disruptive and personal figures of contemporary literature in Spanish, his works pervade everything; sexuality; the lives of beings that, despite being common, they run
between the everyday and the extraordinary; the rebellion of those who live on the narrow border that separates
the system from marginality; the journey as exile but also as a way of life; the need to unveil the uncertain; youth; violence and police plots; art as an obsession, and the continued search of one’s own space in a foreign place.
Belonging to the titles Putas asesinas, El gaucho insufrible, Llamadas telefónicas and El secreto del mal, and written throughout his life, the narrative pieces that make up this book are enriched by and acquire a different meaning through the dialogue they establish between them.
