29.99 €
It's New Year's Eve in the mid-70s. Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, founders of visceral realism, an avant-garde literary movement, set out into the Sonora desert in search of a mysterious and forgotten poetess. The ominous events that follow turn their expedition into an escapade that continues unabated twenty years later.
Their journey takes them through Central America, Europe, Israel and West Africa. Whoever they meet, the outcast writers change the lives of their temporary traveling companions forever. It's an odyssey through a dystopian universe, told by dozens of different voices whose testimonies weave together into a single epic about the incredible journey of two people obsessed with art. Roberto Bolaño, the true heir to Borges and Pynchon, narrates a world where poetry is like a curse and the connection between literature and violence is uncannily close. "The Wild Detectives is an incredibly original text, the first great Latin American novel of the twenty-first century.
