![]() In fact during this section of the book I began to get highly irritated at how the pace changed and slowed down the flow. It is the over lengthy second part in which things become to drag. It’s in diary form and without doubt the strongest and funniest parts of the book. ![]() The first and last are a description of the Visceral Realist life as told through the eyes of a university dropout called Juan Garcia Madero. metaphors and analogies which will confirm that Bolano was a literary genius and yet there is something off-putting about the novel and that is its second part. There are passages which dazzle and descriptions. After great bouts of poetry and flings with the other members of the movements these two go on a world-wide trip in order to find Cesarea Tinajero, who is the heroine behind the Visceral Realists. Here we have a literary group called the Visceral Realists and it’s founders are Arturo Belano (guess who he represents) and Ulises Lima. The Savage Detectives is a satirical attack on the literary movements which cropped up during the 1960’s namely the Magical Realist and the OULIPO. ![]() I mean in theory this was the book which made Bolano’s name and propelled him into the big league? Instead, at least from my point of view I finished the novel with a set of very mixed reactions. ![]() After reading, and loving the mighty 2666, I just couldn’t wait to read The Savage Detectives. ![]()
