A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

An extremely important book in the Latin American canon, but there is nothing difficult or high-minded about it. The Savage Detectives is a grubby epic, part road movie, part joyful, nostalgic confession... the book reveals itself as a masterpiece. In making himself the heart of the novel, Bolaño has reinvented Kerouac, but without the ego... The novel doesn t end well for either of its heroes, but it ends magnificently for the reader. --.

James Wood, John Banville and Susan Sontag have all called [Bolaño] the most influential writer of his generation... Bolaño s penchant for wisecracking motormouths means that his fiction has instant impact, but only at length does it reveal the brilliance to justify the adulation... Exhilarating... The Savage Detectives shows us a writer who has found his ideal medium. --Prospect magazine

[an] effortless blend of irreverent humour with a muted sense of tragedy. --Sunday Telegraph
