Currently reading The Savage Detectives by Bolano and loving it so far. What does /lit/ of of this novel, and Bolano in general? Once I finish this I'll probably hop on over to 2666. While I hear that 2666 is better, I have also heard a strong following that TSD is actually the best.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 31 01:15:37 2014 No.4720572 I barely started reading Los Detectives Salvajes (Spanish is my native language), and though interesting, I seem to miss the actual gripping part of the book. What are your opinions thus far OP?

It was one of the few novels I've read recently that I would consider boring and pointless. Tossed after getting about a hundred pages into the second half. Maybe something was lost in translation? I just found nothing interesting about the characters, content or writing.

It was hugely overrated to the point where I was sort of mad that somebody else had read it that wasn't me. I don't even want to get onto the subject of Bolano but I'm sure that I could have written a better book, and had I have written The Savage Detectives word-for-word as he did then it would have been much better than his version.

The hack.
