About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
New Year’s Eve, 1975. Two hunted men leave Mexico City in a borrowed white Impala.
Their quest: to track down the mythical, vanished poet Cesárea Tinajero. But, twenty years later, they are still on the run. The Savage Detectives is their remarkable journey through our darkening universe. Told, shared and mythologised by a generation of lovers, rebels and listeners, their testimonies are woven together into one of the most dazzling Latin American novels of all time.
TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER
‘Roberto Bolaño was a game changer: his field was politics, poetry and melancholia. He could be funny, he could be literate, he could be devastating. And his writing was always unparalleled’ Mariana Enríquez
‘Bolaño makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world’ Guardian
Critic Reviews
'My favorite writer . . . The Savage Detectives is an ark bearing all the strange salvage of poetry and youth from catastrophes past and those yet to come.' (Nicole Krauss, author of The History of Love)
