Roberto Bolaño (April 28, 1953 - July 15, 2003) was a Chilean novelist and poet, winner of the prestigious Rómulo Gallegos Prize for his novel Los detectives salvajes (The Savage Detectives) in 1999. For most of his life he was a nomad, living at one time or another in Chile, Mexico, El Salvador, France and finally Spain where he would settle in the small town of Blanes. In the seventies he became a Trotskyist and founding member of the infrarrealismo a small reaching poetic movement.
The Savage Detectives has been compared by Jorge Edwards to Julio Cortázar's Rayuela and José Lezama Lima's Paradiso.
