What people on Hacker News said
savage detectives is a funny account of adolescent "poets" in mexico; 2666 is a much darker, somewhat rambling tome that addresses "evil".
It is a story about two young men, told through the perspectives of people they met along the way. Some perspectives have a different enough perception of the protagonists that they could be talking about different people.
