A review by apricot_jam101
The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño

Did not finish book. Stopped at 13%.
Maybe it gets better after we get past Garcia Madero’s section but the consistent homophobia/sexism did not do it for me. It feels like the book is confusing gratuitous sex scenes (including a rape scene by page 45) with being profound. Not to mention that a further part of the story is set in Israel - booooo.
