Roberto Bolano: Cuentos completos / Complete Stories

Roberto Bolano

Los cuentos de Bolano condensan en el breve espacio que caracteriza las obras del genero todo su universo literario, uno de los mas rupturistas y personales de la literatura contemporanea en espanol: la literatura que lo impregna todo; la sexualidad; las vidas de seres que pese a ser comunes, transcurren entre lo cotidiano y lo extraordinario; la rebeldia de aquellos que viven en la estrecha frontera que separa el sistema de la marginalidad; el viaje como huida pero tambien como forma de vida; la necesidad desevelar lo incierto; la juventud; la violencia y las tramas policiales; el arte como obsesion, y la busqueda continuada de un espacio propio en un lugar ajeno.

Pertenencientes a los titulos Putas asesinas, El gaucho insufrible, Llamadas telefonicas y El secreto del mal, y escritas durante toda su vida, las piezas narrativas que componen este libro se enriquecen y adquieren un significado diferente en el dialogo que establecen entre ellas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In the
brief space of his short stories, Bolano manages to condense his entire
literary universe, one of the most disruptive and personal of contemporary
Spanish literature: the literature that permeates everything; sexuality; the
lives of characters that despite being common, live amongst the everyday and
the extraordinary; the rebellion of those who live on the narrow border that
separates the system from marginality; travel as an escape but also as a way
of life; the need to reveal the uncertain; youth; violence and police plots;
art as an obsession, and the continued search for one’s own space in a
foreign place.

Belonging to the collections: Murdering Whores, The
Insufferable Gaucho, Last Evenings on Earth, and The Secret of Evil, the pieces that
make up this book become more enriched and acquire a different meaning as
they establish a dialogue amongst them.
