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 readers, 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, author of Our Share of Night ‘Bolaño makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world’ Guardian
aThe visions that wrenched his soul out of a common world began during baptism. Aunt Gloria and Uncle DarA-o, incurable in their affection for wine and rum, were chosen as godparents. Joyous at the honor, both relatives began toasting each other right after breakfast. Consequently, by three oaclock, as father E. Sandino VelAsquez poured holy water over AlquA-medes, Aunt Gloria went into her trance, Uncle DarA-o way out of balance hit the priestas arm, almost drowning a new Christian, while Aunt Gloria, jerking spasmodically, dropped the baby headfirst on the baptismal font. For days tiny AlquA-medes remained unconscious, feverish, dehydrated by diarrhea. Others saw this as a matter of grave medical concern, but for the infant, who did not cry, it was a vision of eternal bliss: God Himself left an imprint that pursued him till eternity.a
