«Los detectives salvajes» is the novel by Roberto Bolaño, published by Debolsillo in paperback (760 pages, in Spanish).
Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, two young Latin American poets, search in 1975 for Cesárea Tinajero, a Mexican writer who disappeared after the revolution. That quest begins a journey across countries and decades marked by love, death, and literature. The work combines detective narrative, road novel, and biographical account.
The novel was awarded the Herralde and Rómulo Gallegos prizes. It belongs to Debolsillo's Contemporánea collection.
For readers of literary fiction interested in contemporary Hispanic American narrative and in novels with multiple layers of reading.
