Summary
Roberto Bolaño’s Los detectives salvajes (The Savage Detectives, 1998) restored Chilean literature to its glory days. Not since Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1945 and 1971, respectively, had a Chilean writer reached such prominence. Bolaño’s writing is internationally known, as evidenced by the 2018 documentary Los desiertos de Sonora (The Deserts of Sonora), a Spanish-Mexican coproduction in which characters of Los detectives salvajes are included. With the 2007 English translation of Los detectives salvajes, the Bolaño craze spread to all the English-speaking world. Such attention significantly increased his readership as well as critical studies on contemporary Chilean literature.
