This novel is an elegy for a generation.
Independent
The comic frenzy, the inventiveness of character and situation, and the mood-soaked depiction of 1970s Mexico is delightful.
Times Literary Supplement
It’s no exaggeration to call Bolaño a genius. The Savage Detectives alone should grant him immortality.
Washington Post
My favorite writer . . . The Savage Detectives is an ark bearing all the strange salvage of poetry and youth from catastrophes past and those yet to come.
Nicole Krauss, author of The History of Love
Roberto Bolaño's masterwork
Vogue
An exuberantly sprawling, politically charged picaresque novel.
Elle
The most influential and admired novelist of his generation in the Spanish-speaking world.
Susan Sontag
For stunning wit, brutal honesty, loving humanity and a heart that bleeds into the simplest of words, no other writer ever came close.
Marlon James
An exemplary literary rebel
