Bolaño wrote the stories included in the collection “Killer Whores” (2001), like most of his prose, in exile, leaving Chile after the 1973 coup, first to Mexico and then to Spain. The action takes place in different cities and countries where the exiled writer visited. The plots are the most unexpected - from the nostalgic experiences of a killer to African magic in football or true episodes from the life of the author, whose unique masterful style brought him world fame.
