Seventeen-year-old Madero, a Mexican law student, loves poetry and often skips classes to join poetry class discussions. There, he meets two self-proclaimed "visceral realist poets," Belano and Lima. They hang out with other poets and artists, discussing poetry in bars, fueled by marijuana, alcohol, and sex. The poet's spiritual leader, the poetess Tinajero, is rumored to have disappeared years ago in the Sonora Desert north of Mexico City. Driven partly by ideals and partly to escape enemies, they venture deep into the desert to search for her, accompanied by the prostitute Lupe.
After leaving Mexico City, they were spotted hanging out in Paris, Tel Aviv, Vienna, and Barcelona, ​​doing odd jobs to make a living, but no one ever read a single line of their poetry! The young poets experienced twenty years of irreversible life experiences and disillusionment...
The Savage Detectives, Bolaño's first novel, was an immediate success upon its publication. In 1999, it won the Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize and the Chilean National Book Institute Award, among other awards. This success catapulted Bolaño to international literary prominence, establishing him among the foremost Latin American writers and hailed as the most original and important writer since Gabriel García Márquez.
