Llamadas telefónicas is the first book of short stories by the acclaimed Chilean author Roberto Bolaño, published in 1997. This revised edition, awarded with the Premio Ámbito Literario de Narrativa and the Premio Municipal de Santiago de Chile, presents a collection of masterful stories that explore Bolaño's empathy towards characters living in realities with blurred boundaries, addressing their difficult existences with audacity, despair, and humor. The book includes the outstanding short narrative piece "Sensini", which reflects the hypnotic style, devoid of rhetorical artifice, that has consolidated Bolaño as one of the most recognized Latin American writers worldwide.
Roberto Bolaño Ávalos was a Chilean novelist, short-story writer, poet and essayist. In 1999, Bolaño won the Rómulo Gallegos Prize for his novel The Savage Detectives, and in 2008 he was posthumously awarded the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction for his novel 2666, which was described by board member Marcela Valdes as a "work so rich and dazzling that it will surely draw readers and scholars for ages".
