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.
