2666: A Novel

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.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-28-2009; The end of something great.; 2666 was my first experience with Bolano. I read about this book in a Time magazine and was very intrigued.Upon opening the box and seeing the book, my heart sank a little. Seeing a book of this size is always intimidating, and even...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-27-2009; Astonishing; I was initially reticent about reading this book because I struggled through The Savage Detectives, which was maddeningly abstruse. Not being familiar with esoteric Spanish/Mexican literati, much of its sly wit escaped me. But I was...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-26-2009; Towering, magisterial epic; To try to summarise Roberto Bolaño's "2666: A novel" in less than the 900-odd pages in which the book itself unfolds amounts to a more or less futile exercise, so I will not even try! Published posthumously in this English-language...; read full review | report as inappropriate

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-25-2009; Emperor's New Clothes; Extremely disappointing. Notwithstanding all of the literary praise and hype, this novel (if it can be called that) simply does not deliver on a storytelling or intellectual level. It is a pointless study of odd obsessions and the...; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-19-2009; we should be grateful to have it, but this is an UNFINISHED work; the fact is that to suggest that bolaño "finished" this book is basically untrue. he finished the first draft a wildly complex and ambitious 1,000+ page novel a matter of weeks before he died. extraordinarily few published writers would...; read full review | report as inappropriate
