Una de las mejores novelas del siglo XXI, según el New York Times y El PaÃs en edición especial ilustrada por Luis Scafati «No es exagerado decir que Bolaño es un genio. Los detectives salvajes deberÃan otorgarle la inmortalidad . Washington Post «He sido cordialmente invitado a formar parte del realismo visceral. Por supuesto, he aceptado. No hubo ceremonia de iniciación. Mejor asà . La búsqueda en 1975 de la misteriosa escritora mexicana Cesárea Tinajero, desaparecida y olvidada en los años posteriores a la revolución, sirve de inicio a un viaje sin descanso que llevan a cabo dos jóvenes poetas latinoamericanos, Arturo Belano y Ulises Lima. Durante varias décadas y a través distintos paÃses, su aventura transcurre marcada por el amor, la muerte, el deseo de libertad, el humor y la literatura. SÃmbolo de la rebeldÃa y la necesidad de ruptura con la realidad establecida, sus vidas representan los anhelos de toda una generación. La obra de Bolaño conversa con el arte del ilustrador argentino Luis Scafati en esta edición especial ilustrada de una novela que ganó los premios Herralde y Rómulo Gallegos y está considerada una de las mejores novelas del siglo XXI por medios como The New York Times o El PaÃs. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Savage Detectives is an exuberant, raunchy, wildly inventive, and ambitious novel from one of the greatest Latin American authors of our age.
National Bestseller
New Year's Eve, 1975: Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, founders of the visceral realist movement in poetry, leave Mexico City in a borrowed white Impala. Their quest: to track down the obscure, vanished poet Cesárea Tinajero. A violent showdown in the Sonora desert turns search to flight; twenty years later Belano and Lima are still on the run. The explosive first long work by the most exciting writer to come from south of the Rio Grande in a long time (Ilan Stavans, Los Angeles Times), The Savage Detectives follows Belano and Lima through the eyes of the people whose paths they cross in Central America, Europe, Israel, and West Africa. This chorus includes the muses of visceral realism, the beautiful Font sisters; their father, an architect interned in a Mexico City asylum; a sensitive young follower of Octavio Paz; a foul-mouthed American graduate student; a French girl with a taste for the Marquis de Sade; the great-granddaughter of Leon Trotsky; a Chilean stowaway with a mystical gift for numbers; the anorexic heiress to a Mexican underwear empire; an Argentinian photojournalist in Angola; and assorted hangers-on, detractors, critics, lovers, employers, vagabonds, real-life literary figures, and random acquaintances. A polymathic descendant of Borges and Pynchon, Roberto Bolaño traces the hidden connection between literature and violence in a world where national boundaries are fluid and death lurks in the shadow of the avant-garde. The Savage Detectives is a dazzling original, the first great Latin American novel of the twenty-first century.
