7. The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño, 2007

A novel about a militant, literary movement and the players in Latin America who made it move through their passion and poetry, The Savage Detectives is a challenging novel, with numerous narrators and an intriguing structure. It’s ultimately rewarding as you are moving over periods of twenty, thirty years with characters. Don’t stress if you do read it, take your time and savor it, reading it too quickly will make you miss so many of the layers of this wonderful novel.

Yet another book you’ve recommended that I can’t wait to read. Really tremendous effort you’re putting out here. Much appreciated.

This is probably the best book I’ve read in the last couple of years.

Yet another quality endorsement for this book.

Amazing read, but still just a warm up for his masterpiece: “2666”.  Sort of the “V” to his “Gravity’s Rainbow”.
