A love letter to the lost generation from Roberto Bolaño, author of 2666
Forever young, forever absurdly sad

Madero, a 17-year-old Mexican law student, loves poetry and often skips classes to participate in poetry class discussions. There he meets Belano and Lima, who call themselves "instinctive realist poets." They hang out with other poets and artists, arguing about poetry in bars, drinking marijuana, and having sex. The spiritual leader of this school of poetry, the poetess Tinajero, is said to have disappeared in the Sonora Desert north of Mexico City many years ago. Half for their ideals and half to avoid their enemies, they decide to go deep into the desert to look for her, along with the prostitute Lupe.
After leaving Mexico City, they were spotted in Paris, Tel Aviv, Vienna and Barcelona, doing various odd jobs to make a living, but no one had ever seen any of their poems! The young poets experienced twenty years of irreversible life experience and disillusionment...
The Savage Detectives is Bolaño's first novel, which was a huge success upon its publication. In 1999, it won the Romulo Gallegos International Novel Award and the Chilean National Book Association Award, which made Bolaño famous in the international literary world and made him one of the top writers in Latin America. He was called the most original and the most important writer since Marquez.
About the Author · · · · · ·
Roberto Bolaño (1953-2003) was born in Chile. His father was a truck driver and amateur boxer, and his mother taught mathematics and statistics at school. In 1968, his family moved to Mexico. In 1973, Bolaño returned to Chile to join the socialist revolution but was arrested and almost killed. After fleeing back to Mexico, he and his friends promoted the "Infrarealism" movement, which combined surrealism, Dadaism and street theater, with the intention of inspiring young people in Latin America to love life and literature. In 1977, he went to Europe and finally married and settled in Costa del Boraw, Spain. In 2003, he died in Barcelona at the age of 50 due to liver damage and unable to wait for an organ transplant.
Bolaño did not start writing novels until he was 40 years old, but the number of his works is astonishing, leaving behind 10 novels, 4 short story collections and 3 poetry collections. The sensation caused by The Savage Detectives, published in 1998, in the Latin American literary world is no less than the sensation caused by the publication of One Hundred Years of Solitude 30 years ago. The posthumous publication of 2666 has aroused overwhelming praise from European and American public opinion, with praises such as masterpiece, greatness, milestone and genius. Many writers such as Susan Sontag, John Banville, Colm Tóibín and Stephen King have praised Bolaño, and some critics believe that the publication of this book has brought the author to the same level as Cervantes, Sterne, Melville, Proust, Musil and Pynchon.
