Wild detectives. Bolano R.

New Year's Eve, in the yard of the mid-70s. Arturo Belano and Ulyusees Lima, the founders of visceral realism, the avant -garde literary direction, go to Sonor's desert in search of a mysterious and all the forgotten poetess. The ominous events that occurred further turn their expedition into flight, which does not stop even twenty years later.

Their path runs through Central America, Europe, Israel and West Africa. Whoever they meet with, the outcast writers change the lives of their temporary fellow travelers forever. This is Odyssey in the gloomy universe, told by dozens of different voices, whose evidence is intertwined in a single epic about the incredible journey of two people obsessed with art.

Roberto Bolano, the true heir of Borges and Pinchon, tells of a world where poetry is like a curse. , and the connection between literature and violence is incredibly close. “Wild detectives” is an incredibly original text, the first great Latin American novel of the 21st century.
