Three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; a police detective in love with an elusive older woman--these are among the searchers drawn to the border city of Santa Teresa, where over the course of a decade hundreds of women have disappeared.

In the words of The Washington Post, "With 2666, Roberto Bolaño joins the ambitious overachievers of the twentieth-century novel, those like Proust, Musil, Joyce, Gaddis, Pynchon, Fuentes, and Vollmann, who push the novel far past its conventional size and scope to encompass an entire era, deploying encyclopedic knowledge and stylistic verve to offer a grand, if sometimes idiosyncratic, summation of their culture and the novelist's place in it. Bolaño has joined the immortals."

Bolano's Labyrinth

Roberto Bolano's 2666 is a vast and sometimes frustrating labyrinth wherein many characters seem to vanish into their own obscure tangents. As a reader I wanted to keep following them, and when in the midst of all the murder I felt abandoned in a world that made no sense and was endlessly recurring. By the end I felt clearly that Bolano was fully intentional in imparting his world. And it is a very stark representation of this world. How is it possible that these murders continue now almost 20 years. One feels indignant and angry. But looking around it seems we become numb to similar or disimilar cases of murder and corruption, of systemic abuse and indifference around the world. And it's our world. As you wander Bolano's labyrinth you can't get lost in narrative and thereby aesthetically leave yourself behind.
