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.
