Roberto Bolaño: Cuentos completos / Complete Stories by Roberto Bolao
Los cuentos de Bola o condensan en el breve espacio que caracteriza las obras del g nero todo su universo literario, uno de los m s rupturistas y personales de la literatura contempor nea en espa ol: 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 rebeld a de aquellos que viven en la estrecha frontera que separa el sistema de la marginalidad; el viaje como huida pero tambi n como forma de vida; la necesidad desevelar lo incierto; la juventud; la violencia y las tramas policiales; el arte como obsesi n, y la b squeda continuada de un espacio propio en un lugar ajeno. Pertenencientes a los t tulos Putas asesinas, El gaucho insufrible, Llamadas telef nicas 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 di logo que establecen entre ellas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In the brief space of his short stories, Bola o 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.Roberto Bolao (1953-2003) was born in Santiago, Chile, and resided in Mexico, France, and Spain later in his life. He has been praised as the most interesting writer to emerge from south of the Rio Grande in a long time (Los Angeles Times) and as the real deal and the rarest (Susan Sontag). The famous Premio Herralde de Novela and the Premio Rómulo Gallegos are among his many awards. He is usually regarded as the generation's greatest Latin American writer. The Romantic Dogs, 2666, The Spirit of Science Fiction, By Night in Chile, Distant Star, Last Evenings on Earth, and The Savage Detectives are among his works.
