This article analyzes how an ethics of literature is expressed in three short stories of Roberto Bolaño’s Putas Asesinas, “El Ojo Silva”, “Días de 1978” and “Vagabundo en Francia y Bélgica”, mainly from motifs such as wandering, displacement and disbelonging. An ethics featured by searching for the artist, art and writing emerges from Bolaño’s literary work, as a commitment to freedom, able to articulate curiosity, sensibility and rationality, turning them into alternatives to get an aesthetic state that presents itself as a place where life and art approximate themselves, in a precarious language that establishes a relation between ethics and aesthetics.
