If you are yet to discover Bolano this book (his debut) is the perfect introduction. Bolano passed away in 2003, so there is limited material. But what he's left behind can only be described as a series of masterpieces. The Savage Detectives follows two Drifter Poets across North America, Europe and the Middle East. It covers 30 years and is told from the view point of multiple characters.
It's dark, sexy and unnervingly confessional.
If you like this then checkout his true masterpiece 2666.
