The Savage Detectives

For most of his early adulthood, Bolaño was a vagabond, living at one time or another in Chile, Mexico, El Salvador, France and Spain.

Bolaño moved to Europe in 1977, and finally made his way to Spain, where he married and settled on the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona, working as a dishwasher, a campground custodian, bellhop and garbage collector — working during the day and writing at night.

He continued with poetry, before shifting to fiction in his early forties. In an interview Bolaño stated that he made this decision because he felt responsible for the future financial well-being of his family, which he knew he could never secure from the earnings of a poet. This was confirmed by Jorge Herralde, who explained that Bolaño "abandoned his parsimonious beatnik existence" because the birth of his son in 1990 made him "decide that he was responsible for his family's future and that it would be easier to earn a living by writing fiction." However, he continued to think of himself primarily as a poet, and a collection of his verse, spanning 20 years, was published in 2000 under the title The Romantic Dogs.

Regarding his native country Chile, which he visited just once after going into voluntary exile, Bolaño had conflicted feelings. He was notorious in Chile for his fierce attacks on Isabel Allende and other members of the literary establishment.

In 2003, after a long period of declining health, Bolaño died. It has been suggested that he was at one time a heroin addict and that the cause of his death was a liver illness resulting from Hepatitis C, with which he was infected as a result of sharing needles during his "mainlining" days. However, the accuracy of this has been called into question. It is true that he suffered from liver failure and was close to the top of a transplant list at the time of his death.

Bolaño was survived by his Spanish wife and their two children, whom he once called "my only motherland."

Although deep down he always felt like a poet, his reputation ultimately rests on his novels, novellas and short story collections. Although Bolaño espoused the lifestyle of a bohemian poet and literary enfant terrible for all his adult life, he only began to produce substantial works of fiction in the 1990s. He almost immediately became a highly regarded figure in Spanish and Latin American letters.

In rapid succession, he published a series of critically acclaimed 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.

In 2009 a number of unpublished novels were discovered among the author's papers.

New Year’s Eve, 1975: Arturo Belano and Ulises Lima, founders of the visceral realist movement in poetry, leave Mexico City in a borrowed white Impala. Their quest: to track down the obscure, vanished poet Cesárea Tinajero. A violent showdown in the Sonora desert turns search to flight; twenty years later Belano and Lima are still on the run.

The explosive first long work by “the most exciting writer to come from south of the Rio Grande in a long time” (Ilan Stavans, Los Angeles Times), The Savage Detectives follows Belano and Lima through the eyes of the people whose paths they cross in Central America, Europe, Israel, and West Africa. This chorus includes the muses of visceral realism, the beautiful Font sisters; their father, an architect interned in a Mexico City asylum; a sensitive young follower of Octavio Paz; a foul-mouthed American graduate student; a French girl with a taste for the Marquis de Sade; the great-granddaughter of Leon Trotsky; a Chilean stowaway with a mystical gift for numbers; the anorexic heiress to a Mexican underwear empire; an Argentinian photojournalist in Angola; and assorted hangers-on, detractors, critics, lovers, employers, vagabonds, real-life literary figures, and random acquaintances.

A polymathic descendant of Borges and Pynchon, Roberto Bolaño traces the hidden connection between literature and violence in a world where national boundaries are fluid and death lurks in the shadow of the avant-garde. The Savage Detectives is a dazzling original, the first great Latin American novel of the twenty-first century.

又是从英文翻出的,好像我们仍然活在二十世纪初,《堂吉诃德》的中文本一定要从英文翻过来。从西文到英文,原著被拔了一层皮,从英文到中文,又被去了一层肉。中国读者真可怜,拉美文学的一顿盛宴,只能落得些残羹冷炙。 我们看第一页中的这段: “我们朗读自己写的诗歌,阿...

时间过得真快,很多年前总是觉得2000年太远,所有人为千禧年做着的各种筹备。。。但是现在往回看呢,它又变得更远了。。。前些日子麦田的作者挂了,一些朋友重读小说,发现这个经典已经叫人读不下去了,这个是叫人很为难的东西。但是没有办法,因为大家都开始为年轻时候鄙视的...

《荒野侦探》散发出两重弧光。它是向内部纵深的,波拉尼奥将自我隐喻成一个无名侦探,返回青春岁月,为一代人写下情书;同时,它又是向外弥散的,文本敞开性感的身体,邀请每一位读者做一番奥德赛式的漫游,如侦探般追寻与见证着一代人的青春。 波拉尼奥曾将文学比喻为...

这是一幅浪漫主义者、神秘主义者、柏拉图主义者的拼图,你看到了什么,或你以为看到了什么,说到底就是一场断断续续甚至来回往复的公路电影,不单是在空间里,还在时间里。这又是一个看似规则简单的填字游戏,我们在这个矩阵中逐格玩下去,恰且逢到这是一个横着拼写的单词时,...

Bolaño的流水账,我看了一个月。 到了最后,明白了infrarealism, 明白了他为什么要反对Márquez和Paz,和魔幻现实主义的仿效者。 他的长篇小说比短篇好,甚至好过他自己看重的诗歌。把日常生活写出浓郁的暴力。这股浓郁,再也不用贩卖独裁/殖民/战争/政变这些“拉美题材”来...

Abandon everything, again

青年文学作者们的墓志铭。因为太多人相信写作是屌丝的唯一救赎,所以南美大陆聚集了这一群年轻诗人:他们穷困潦倒,麻烦缠身,充满热情却没有方向,最后循着直觉走向觉醒或者灭亡。
