Synopsis "Putas Asesinas (in Spanish)"

"Las mujeres son putas asesinas, Max, son monos ateridos de frío que contemplan el horizonte desde un árbol enfermo, son princesas que tebuscan en la oscuridad, llorando, indagando las palabras que nunca podrán decir. En el equívoco vivimos y planeamos nuestros ciclos de vida", dice el personaje (¿una asesina?, ¿una puta?, ¿ambas cosas?) del cuento que da título a este libro. En "Últimos atardeceres en la tierra" se narra un viaje a Acapulco que se convierte paulatinamente en un descenso a los infiernos. En "Dentista" se cuenta la historia de un adolescente misterioso y dos adultos, ya de vuelta de todo, que lo observan desde el precipicio. En "Buba" se cuenta una historia de fútbol en tres partes. la de un futbolista sudamericano, la de un futbolista africano y la de uno español, y la sorprendente historia de su equipo, que bien podría ser el Barcelona. En "Carnet de baile" se dan 69 razones para no hablar con Pablo Neruda. En "Prefiguración de Lalo Cura", por el contrario nos sumerge en una historia de narcotraficantes y directores de cine porno, y "Fotos", uno de los últimos relatos, nos trae una vez más a Arturo Belano, el protagonista de "Los detectives salvajes".

Roberto Bolaño Ávalos (Santiago de Chile, 1953 – Barcelona, 2003) was a Chilean writer and poet who became one of the most original and influential voices in contemporary Hispanic American literature. His work revitalized the Latin American novel by challenging traditional genres and leaving a deep personal mark. During his youth, he lived in Chile and Mexico, where he founded the infrarealist poetic movement, which defined his early years as a writer. In 1973, he returned to Chile to support the Allende government, but after the military coup, he was arrested and then returned to Mexico to fully dedicate himself to literature. In the late seventies, he settled in Spain, where he lived until his death. From the nineties, facing a serious illness, he turned to narrative, achieving international recognition with works like The Savage Detectives (1998), awarded with important prizes, and the posthumous novel 2666 (2004), considered one of the great contemporary literary works. His legacy, translated into multiple languages, continues to influence writers and readers around the world, consolidating him as a key figure to understand the literature of the 21st century, thanks to his passionate, rebellious, and deeply lucid style.
