Abstract

The present work seeks to discuss the poetics constructed by Roberto Bolaño in his book of short stories Putas Asesinas. The recurring notions of displacement and orphanhood are taken as key points for understanding the aesthetics of the work, both of which are also significant for understanding the recurrence of exile throughout the author's narrative production. In order to think about these themes, not only statements made by Boalaño’s criticism are brought to light, but also information and reflections on exile and the Chilean military regime and Didi-Huberman’s thinking about the atlas, as a way of locating Bolaño’s production.
