In this article we propose a reading of The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolaño (1998) through the analysis of some processes of untimeliness and spectrality that cross, fissure and increasingly disrupt the multiplicity of narratives in the novel. We focus attention on a gesture, that of the poet Cesarea Tinajero, one of the book's key characters, to see how Bolaño's research on the margins of history and its ghosts develops out of it in genealogical way. Cesarea leaves Distrito Federal, leaves the estridentistas and the Mexican Revolution and returns to the Sonoran Desert. We are interested in differentials of time: those of a past gesture that continues interrupting a present that narrates it. Finally, we attempt to think about this dialectical and anachronistic return, as well as that desert, as a prefiguration of the place where Bolaño, in his last, posthumous novel (2666), made the horror of an entire century reflux: Santa Teresa, reinscription of Ciudad Juárez and its unstoppable femicide.

Palabras llave : Roberto Bolaño; spectrality; anachronism; feminicide; 2666.
