About the book: 2011 / Chilean poet and prose writer Roberto Bolaño (1953–2003) lived only fifty years and, although he began publishing at forty, managed to publish more dozen books and become the winner of many awards, including very honorable ones: the Spanish “Erralde” and the Venezuelan one named after Romulus Gallegos, nicknamed the “Latin American Nobel”. Great fame came to Bolaño after the publication of “The Wild Detectives” (1998), and the novel “2666”, published after his death, received the Salammbo Prize in the category “Best Novel in Spanish”, was recognized as Book of the Year in Portugal, and the newspaper The New The York Times named it one of the top ten books of 2008. Bolaño wrote the stories included in the collection “Killer Whores” (2001), like most of his prose, in exile, leaving Chile after the 1973 coup, first to Mexico and then to Spain. The action takes place in different cities and countries where the exiled writer visited. The plots are the most unexpected - from the nostalgic experiences of a killer to African magic in football or true episodes from the life of the author, whose unique masterful style brought him world fame.
