Abstract
ROCCO NUNEZ, Bernardo Patricio. Experience, Boredom and Legibility in three stories by Roberto Bolaño. Valenciana [online]. 2017, vol.10, n.20, pp.65-86. ISSN 2007-2538. https://doi.org/10.15174/rv.v0i20.294.
This article studies the short stories “Últimos atardeceres en la tierra”, “Días de 1978” and “Vagabundo en Francia y Bélgica” belonging to Putas Asesinas (2001) by Roberto Bolaño, with the goal of understanding the representation of the crisis of the modern experience. In this sense, the relationships between the subjects of madness, the trauma of the Chilean exile and the state of boredom are explored. In short, it shows how the journey of the modern subject manifests a conceptual genealogy that would make contemporary Chilean history legible.
