The Savage Detectives (Spanish: Los detectives salvajes) is a novel by the Chilean author Roberto Bolaño published in 1998. Natasha Wimmer's English translation was published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux in 2007. The novel tells the story of the search for a 1920s Mexican poet, Cesárea Tinajero, by two 1970s poets, the Chilean Arturo Belano (alter ego of Bolaño) and the Mexican Ulises Lima.
The Savage Detectives has been translated into several languages, and won the Herralde prize in 1998 and the Rómulo Gallegos prize in 1999.[1] The novel has received a great deal of praise, both from writers and specialized critics.
