The Savage Detectives: A Novel by Roberto Bolano

"Roberto Bolaño's masterpiece is an utterly unique achievement--a modern epic rich in character and event. . . . [He is] the most important writer to emerge from Latin America since García Márquez."
--The San Francisco Chronicle

In this dazzling novel, the book that established Robert Bolaño's international reputation, he tells the story of two modern-day Quixotes--the last survivors of an underground literary movement, perhaps of literature itself--on a tragicomic quest through their darkening, entropic world.
