A review by mrmysteryfox
The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño

4.0

It’s hard to explain why I enjoyed this book so much. It’s a story of young Mexican poets starting a new literary movement and the struggle of their lives living in a world immersed in literature and poetry. At times the book was rambling but it captures the essence of their lives in Mexico City. The book questions whether there is any point to poetry and literary movements or if it all just leads to madness and insanity.
