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 Santa Teresa - a fictional Juárez - on the U.S.-Mexico border.

Monumental. Staggering

What made the experience of listening to 2666 the most enjoyable?
Good god what a book. Had a little trouble adjusting when narrators would switch, but the power of the story, the humanity, tragedy, violence, and brilliance just overwhelmed me. I'm kind of in shock still. Not a book I am likely to forget
What other book might you compare 2666 to and why?
Hmm other Bolano books, for one, such as 'Savage Detectives'. Also brought to mind 'A brief history of seven killings', and perversely also 'War and Peace'. I have not yet read Austerlitz but I suspect that is similar too, as many have compared Bolano to Sebald. Perhaps Sebald=Archimboldi?
Which scene was your favorite?
The 4th section, about the murders, was definitely the most shocking
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I wouldn't
Any additional comments?
I think i need a cigarette.... damn...

Based in part on Dickens's own life, it is the story of a young man's journey from an unhappy and impoverished childhood to the discovery of his vocation as a successful novelist. Among its gloriously vivid cast of characters, he e.ncounters his tyrannical stepfather, Mr. Murdstone; his formidable aunt, Betsey Trotwood; the eternally humble yet treacherous Uriah Heep; the frivolous, enchanting Dora; and one of literature's great comic creations, the magnificently impecunious Mr. Micawber.
