Over the course of her adventures-or misadventures-this little bold lady will handle a crisis with a local celebrity who has her eyes on Maud's apartment, foil the engagement of her long-ago lover, and dispose of some pesky neighbors. It's a solitary existence, and she likes it that way. Now in her late eighties, Maud contents herself with traveling the world and surfing the net from the comfort of her father's ancient armchair. That was how Maud learned that good things can come from tragedy.

Almost all Bolaño's fiction concerns itself with the lives of writers, especially poets. The first is the milieu its characters inhabit. Two things in particular mark The Savage Detectives as Bolaño's work. Its roots are autobiographical: Bolaño lived in Mexico during this period (his family moved there when he was 15) and was the founder of a short-lived "punk-surrealist" movement called infrarrealismo. The Savage Detectives tells the story of a fictional poetic movement called visceral realism, founded in Mexico City in the mid-1970s. But it was only two years ago, with the translation of his dauntingly bulky novel The Savage Detectives, that Bolaño's true significance began to be appreciated. Translations of his novels and short stories began appearing shortly after his death, and gradually a buzz grew up around the Chilean author.

Absolute Xenophobe: Weston has no problem shooting Hyoi (who as a hross looks seal-like and not humanoid like Weston expected) on sight without bothering whether he may be murdering a sentinent person.Oyarsa then sends the three humans back to Earth. Weston and Devine reappear, and their ultimate villainous goals are laid bare and dissected. In the court of Oyarsa, Ransom learns much of the history of eldila and the solar system, and the reason why Thulcandra (the titular Silent Planet, that is, Earth) has heretofore been cut off from the Heavens. This being is an eldil - basically, an angel - and actually just wants to talk. He is then summoned to see Oyarsa, the ruler of Malacandra. He escapes, locates and falls in among the civilized natives (the otterlike hrossa) and learns their language and their ways. Philologist Elwin Ransom is kidnapped by the (evil) scientists Devine and Weston, and taken in their space-ship to the planet Malacandra (or Mars, as we call it) as a human sacrifice to appease the natives while they mine the place for gold.
