Shanghai private library 2666 Shanghai wordsmith Sun Ganlu (孙甘露) dives into a novel at 2666. The question of whether 2666 is a total novel seems interesting enough for its own thread. That's not something very many people are willing to do. I'm about 600 pages into Roberto Bolaño's 2666 –a book that is both horrible and hypnotic, one of the few Bolaño works I've been able to finish (Amuleto was the other one). 2666 is a monstrous novel, in every conceivable way. 2666, a novel by Chilean writer, Roberto Bolano, was published posthumously in 2004. The best blogging experience of my first year at the practice is, by far, the group read of 2666. Every book that isn't a masterpiece is cannon fodder, a slogging foot soldier, a piece to be sacrificed, since in multiple ways it mimics the design of the masterpiece. 2666 is one of those novels which push the limits of the novel past its conventional size and scope, and its 893 pages of text definitely is one literary mammoth. €�”The Part About Fate,” 2666, p.348.

The wide ranging geography and time frame of 2666 defy easy summary. For the past week, I have been walking around, trying to think of what — finally — to say about Roberto Bolaño's novel, 2666. Even the critical praise is monstrous, from the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award to Time's Best Fiction Book of the same year. There is something about it in this novel that made it feel at times more real than real and more true than life itself.
