Книга: Roberto Bolano «The Savage Detectives»
Производитель: "Picador" New Year`s Eve, 1975: Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, poets and leaders of a movement they call visceral realism, leave Mexico City in a borrowed white Impala. Their mission: to track down the poet Cesarea Tinajero, who disappeared into the Sonora desert - and obscurity - decades before. But the detectives are themselves hunted men, and their search for the past will end in violence, flight, and permanent exile. In this dazzling novel, Roberto Bolano tells the story of two modern-day Quixotes on a twenty-year, multi-continent, tragicomic quest through a darkening universe.`A unique voice asserting the importance and exuberance of literature... Bolano writes with such elegance, verve and style and is so immensely readable. He makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world`-`Guardian`.`Part road movie, part joyful, nostalgic confession. A masterpiece`-`Daily Telegraph`.`Extraordinary ... A portrait of people for whom literature is bread and water, sex and death. The abiding message to be taken from Bolano`s novel, and maybe from his fraught life, too: books matter`-`GQ`. Издательство: "Picador" (2009)

Roberto Bolaño Ávalos (
Life
For most of his youth, Bolaño was a vagabond, living at one time or another in
A crucial episode in his life, mentioned in different forms in several of his works, occurred in 1973, when he left
Works
Although a hard-working, devoted writer all his life, Bolaño only began publishing regularly in the late 1990s. He immediately became a widely respected figure in Spanish and Latin American letters. In a rapid succession, he published a widely acclaimed series of works, the most important of which are the novel "Los detectives salvajes" ("The Savage Detectives"), the novella "Nocturno de Chile" ("By Night in Chile"), and, posthumously, the novel "2666". His two collections of short stories "Llamadas telefónicas" and "Putas asesinas" were awarded literary prizes.
"The Savage Detectives" has been compared by
The novel "2666" was published in 2004. At 1100 pages, the novel is divided in five "parts," four and a half of which were finished before Bolaño's death. Focused on the unsolved and still ongoing serial murders of Ciudad Juárez (Santa Teresa in the novel), the apocalyptic "2666" depicts the horror of the 20th century through a wide cast of characters, including the secretive, Pynchon-like German writer Archimboldi.
