The Savage Detectives Reread

Beschreibung

David Kurnick argues that the controversies surrounding Roberto Bolaà oâ s life and work have obscured his achievementsâ and that The Savage Detectives is still underappreciated for the subtlety and vitality of its portrait of collective life. He explores the novel as an epic of social structure and its decomposition.
