And this is probably why, out of all the 'books' in 2666, I liked Book II best. 2666.jpg Roberto Bolano's novel 2666 is a turbulent structure. That's not something very many people are willing to do. For the past week, I have been walking around, trying to think of what — finally — to say about Roberto Bolaño's novel, 2666. Part of my four-day holiday weekend has been spent thinking about Roberto Bolaño's 2666. Chilean author Roberto Bolaño left behind a surfeit of unfinished manuscripts after his death, but nothing was more intriguing than a reported sixth part of 2666, his bestselling magnum opus. Obviously there's a part of me that applauds the willingness of all three critics, at a time when 2666 was the Hot Hot Book in the US, to swim against the current. There is something about it in this novel that made it feel at times more real than real and more true than life itself. Every book that isn't a masterpiece is cannon fodder, a slogging foot soldier, a piece to be sacrificed, since in multiple ways it mimics the design of the masterpiece. The wide ranging geography and time frame of 2666 defy easy summary. Other Details: Trade Paperback. English Translation by Natasha Wimmer, 2008. According to his heirs, Roberto Bolaño left instructions that his final work, 2666, should be published as five separate novels, each corresponding to one of the sections of the book as it appears today. The book is huge, almost 1,000 pages. I'm about 600 pages into Roberto Bolaño's 2666 –a book that is both horrible and hypnotic, one of the few Bolaño works I've been able to finish (Amuleto was the other one). He was still working on it when he died in 2003.
