Savage Detectives
Roberto BolañoMolly McArdleBolaño’s breakout success in English is a little bit sci-fi, a little bit buddy comedy. a little bit road trip, a little bit scene diary. Like all of Bolaño’s writing, it is wonderfully alive, rude, hopeful—and fun. You can read Bret Easton Ellis and Jack Kerouac later.
