The Savage Detectives

Roberto Bolaño

1998 · Literary Fiction

Tr. Natasha Wimmer

Picked by Alasdair
Two young poets in Mexico City in 1975 go looking for a vanished avant-garde movement. Then the novel skips forward and sideways and you spend 400 pages hearing about them from everyone except them. Exhausting in the best possible way.
