OTHER LATIN-AMERICAN: THE UTOPIA CRITICISM IN ROBERTO BOLANO

The stories of puas asesinas (2001) by Roberto Bolano - as well as his narrative in general- flows openly around Latinamerican people, time and spaces. Characters who, even exiled, are linked with Chile but at the same time are inserted in a bigger symbolic space. This Latinamerican crhonotope is marked not only by violence, but also by the vagueness through which these real, imaginary and symbolic spaces are expressed in writing, for example, through dreams. A projection is built, an image whose counterutopia is a constant reference. The destruction of an utopian reference, the criticism that originated it and didn't let it move forward is left. The current context is then marked by ominous forces that are seen in the stories, specially tackled from the urban perspective.
