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.

Roberto's Magnum Opus

This book will change your brain, in the best and worst ways. Required human literature IMO for any adult who loves to read. Novels just don't get better than this, maybe people have their personal favs, but this ranks among the giants of modern literature with the likes of Pynchon, McCarthy, Delillo, G.G. Marquez, and D.F. Wallace! Full stop, read this book ASAP!

Incredible!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

A gigantic piece of literature, both profound and meaningless. Unlike anything I’ve ever encountered.
This is not for you.
You will be disappointed.
5 stars all around!
