I owe my awareness of Bolano to Tumblr, for the longest time I kept his name to myself, holding it close to my heart like a priced possession. I awaited his translations from Spanish with bated breath. To me; he is magic. This particular book holds Arturo and Ulises as the main protagonists, however the book is told from the first-person perspective of a revolving cast of characters who come into contact with Ulises and Arturo, never from their own point of view.The Savage Detectives, paints a dismal picture - about a person’s ultimate loneliness and the impact we make on other people is eventually theirs to unravel.
