Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A cuatro profesores de literatura, Pelletier, Morini, Espinoza y Norton, los une su fascinacion por la obra de Beno von Archimboldi, un enigmatico escritor aleman cuyo prestigio crece en todo el mundo. La complicidad se vuelve vodevil intelectual y desemboca en un peregrinaje a Santa Teresa (trasunto de Ciudad Juarez), donde hay quien dice que Archimboldi ha sido visto. Ya alli, Pelletier y Espinoza se enteran de que la ciudad es desde anos atras escenario de una larga cadena de crimenes: en los vertederos aparecen cadaveres de mujeres con senales de haber sido violadas y torturadas. Es el primer asomo de la novela a sus procelosos caudales, repletos de personajes memorables cuyas historias, a caballo entre la risa y el horror, abarcan dos continentes e incluyen un vertiginoso travelling por la historia europea del siglo XX. 2666 confirma el veredicto de Susan Sontag: «el mas influyente y admirado novelista en lengua espanola de su generacion. Su muerte, a los cincuenta anos, es una gran perdida para la literatura». La publicacion de 2666 en la coleccion «Compactos», encuadernado en tapa dura para facilitar su manejabilidad, es un acontecimiento excepcional. «Una gran novela de novelas, sin duda la mejor de su produccion, tan prematuramente interrumpida» (Ana Maria Moix, El Pais); «Lo que aqui se persigue y se alcanza es la novela total, que ubica al autor de 2666 en el mismo equipo que Cervantes, Sterne, Melville, Proust, Musil y Pynchon» (Rodrigo Fresan, Que Leer). --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The infinite desert lies at the end. , February 11, 2005
By Javier A. Moreno (Lyon, France) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The last book by the chilean Roberto Bolaño, was also his last will. It is said that Bolaño spent the last three or four years of his short life almost enterily devoted to the task of writing this humongous novel and hoping he would have the chance of finishing it before he died. Fortunately, he did.

Divided in 5 independent nouvelles, 2666 is an excesive example of what modern literature is made for. Bolaño explores several styles and genres blending them smoothly. It is also an apocalyptic noir tale (full of deeply dark humor) of coincidences and hidden references that, in some sense, compiles everything Bolaño did before.

The core of the book, the place where everything converges, is a series of murders of young women in an industrial mexican city close to the US border. An intrincate network of searches and dissapearances correlates and connects the nouvelles in a strange and loose way.

If you like Perec, Calvino, Borges and Cortazar, you will certainly like Bolaño's work. However, before reading this, you should probably check his early works. Nocturno de Chile, La literatura nazi en America and Los detectives salvajes are good starting points. Leave 2666 for the closing, it deserves the honor.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2666, April 26, 2007
2666 es la última novela de Roberto Bolaño. Literatura de signo magistral que prefigura la aparición y constitución de un nuevo clásico latinoamericano. La médula espinal de esta obra póstuma es el escritor desaparecido Benno von Archimboldi. La vida de cuatro críticos se entrecruzará en la pasión y búsqueda de tal escritor, camino que los conducirá a la ciudad mexicana de Santa Teresa. Conocerán en la segunda parte a Amalfitano, el nuevo protagonista, que ha viajado, sin ninguna justificación aparente, a México, en dónde se entrelazará su relato con el de los críticos. La historia gravita, además, sobre la fuerza de escenarios reales, en especial el de la frontera, Santa Teresa, contexto en donde transcurrirá también la historia de Fate, periodista estadounidense que involuntariamente se verá involucrado también con la ola de crímenes que atestan la ciudad. Por último, la biografía errante de Archimboldi (Hans Reiter), desembocará del mismo modo en México, y en el mismo desierto fronterizo que sentimos respirar a lo largo de toda la novela. 2666: atmósfera de descomposición y arbitrariedad que parece regir el destino de todos sus personajes, y el de sus testigos.

4.0 out of 5 stars No una lectura casual, July 3, 2007
By F. Munoz "fblin6" (Miami, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
2666 es extraño y definitivamente no para cualquiera. Es un "tour de force" que se debe leer en ciertos pasajes con paciencia, en especial lo referente a los 200 asesinatos que se detallan en exceso, todos espeluznantes, aunque probablemente basados en hechos reales según leí en alguna parte(?), probablemente lo más difícil de leer y entender, el sin sentido de la muerte. Pareciera remarcar hasta el cansancio que la muerte es horrorosa, sin sentido y mucho menos justa, es solo eso muerte y horror. Y el horror se debe detallar...Como queriendo decir ¡Entiendan!
Lo interesante es el viaje no el destino. Al final no habrá respuestas. Solo historias paralelas que se unen casi accidentalmente en torno a múltiples y sufridas historias.

El estilo de escritura es fácil de seguir.
La edición española es excelente: muy buen empaste (paperback), papel y tipografía; fue un agrado leerlo.

2666 is strange and definitely not for everyone. It's a "tour de force" which should be read in many chapters with patience. In particular, "About the murders" which take to the reader to the horror, the nonsense, and injustice through 200 or so terrible crimes.And the horror must be in full of detail... It's like he was saying...¡Grasp it!
Finally the most interesting of it: It is not in the end but in the journey. Don't expect answers just suffered lives mingle by destiny.
Easy to read style.
