I started reading Bolaño's #TheSavageDetectives in February 2020, and I'm still halfway through...
I don't know what has made it such a pain to get through, but I suspect that it's the feeling that nothing is really happening during the "testimonials" section. And the mystery of Cesárea Tinarejo doesn't interest me at all.
I didn't have this problem at all with #2666 , which ended being a highlight of 2018 for me. The plot just flowed better.
