Mörderische Huren

Melancholic porn stars, eccentric poets, mystical dentists, and footballers with a penchant for the supernatural - Roberto Bolaño, the great storyteller from Chile, remains unparalleled. In thirteen irresistibly funny, profound stories, he traces the life paths of people who are on the run: from poverty and violence, but above all from themselves. These are thirteen strikes into the dark heart of the present. Wherever Bolaño's characters end up in the world, they carry the marks of their disturbance with them. Yet without disturbance, nothing human would exist, for "the world is alive and nothing alive has a solution, and that is our happiness.".
