Published a year after his death and translated into English a few more years later, it is an enormous book that defies summary. While a rose by any other name may well smell as sweet, the title of a book is most frequently inextricably linked to the nature and quality of the story contained within. He completed its first draft shortly before his death in 2004. If the streets of Santa Teresa and the style of 2666 are anarchic and the epigraph refers to our corrosive modernity and its abuses of freedom and desires, then we can anticipate an even more sprawling post-modern novel. Roberto Bolaño's 2666 is an obsessive and world-shifting epic. Chilean author Roberto Bolano posthumously won the National Book Critics Circle award Thursday night for the English translation of his 912-page novel 2666. 2666 is Roberto Bolano's master statement. When I read it, I will be completely absorbed by it. But I know exactly when I read the first page of Roberto Bolaño's 2666. 2666 is a monstrous novel, in every conceivable way. Even the critical praise is monstrous, from the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award to Time's Best Fiction Book of the same year. By Roberto Bolaño (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) $30. Perhaps the first online group read of the novel was the "National Reading '2666' Month", a month-long reading by The New Yorker (The Book Bench) in January 2009. The bookmark that I use in my copy of 2666 is the Christmas card that my brother wrote to me when he gave me the book. This is the issue that Roberto Bolano sets up in his novel 2666.
