Abstract

This article proposes the study of the manifestations and meanings of eroticism in The Savage Detectives. Roberto Bolaño's novel can be read from an "erotic anarchy" that is a ritualized exploration of pleasure and, in this sense, is divorced from any connection with reproduction. For Bolaño, eros is a force that liberalizes men and women, transgressing cultural and economic patterns of hegemonic discourses. Thence the intense, varied and disruptive erotic wandering real visceralistas poets and lovers in The Savage Detectives.
