Hilarious and sexy, meandering and melancholy, full of inside jokes about Latin American literati that you don't have to understand to enjoy, The Savage Detectives is a companionable and complicated road trip through Mexico City, Barcelona, Israel, Liberia, and finally the desert of northern Mexico. It's the first of Bolaño's two giant masterpieces to be translated into English (the second, 2666, is due out next year), and you can see how he's influenced an era. --Tom Nissley]]> 72039 4.00 9015 2348 1998 0 0 false Thu Nov 29 19:15:21 -0800 2007 Thu Nov 29 19:15:28 -0800 2007
