About this product

Product Information

THE POSTHUMOUS MASTERWORK FROM "ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL MODERN WRITERS" (JAMES WOOD, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW ) Composed in the last years of Roberto Bolaño's life, 2666 was greeted across Europe and Latin America as his highest achievement, surpassing even his previous work in its strangeness, beauty, and scope. Its throng of unforgettable characters includes academics and convicts, an American sportswriter, an elusive German novelist, and a teenage student and her widowed, mentally unstable father. Their lives intersect in the urban sprawl of SantaTeresa--a fictional Juárez--on the U.S.-Mexico border, where hundreds of young factory workers, in the novel as in life, have disappeared.

"Bolaño's masterwork . . .

  • Massive, Bizarre Epic Novel Written with Logic & Power

    Robert Bolano's novel, "2666," is a massive, bizarre epic translated and posthumously published in the US. Its 898 pages are divided into five parts. The first concerns four literary critics- three men and a woman, all friends, all Europeans, all authorites on a mysterious German novelist named Archimboldi. They follow him to the backwater town of Santa Teresa in northern Mexico only to find that he is not there. Bolano then suspends his narrative and sidetracks into the mind of a philosophy professor who teaches in Santa Teresa and may slowly be going insane, and then into another genre entirely, a hard-boiled story about a journalist sent to Santa Teresa from New York City to cover a boxing match. It only becomes clear in the novel's fourth section that Bolano is making these leaps ...

  • Great story broken up into compelling narratives.

    Bolaño is a master of his craft and brings each of the stories told in this long novel to life. I greatly recommend, if possible, for it to be read in it's original language but the translation does a very good job at retaining Bolaño's ideas. Very recommended.
