2666: A Novel Roberto Bolano
Publisher: Picador

As I was reading the passage in Bolaño's novel 2666 on page 40 through 41 I was reminded of the article from the New York Times we read last week entitled, “Analyzing Literature and Words by Numbers”. Facetious, I know, but hey, I got through the book. 2666 by Roberto Bolano, translated from the Spanish by Natasha Wimmer. 2666 opens with a novel about four European literary critics, academics, who specialize in the work of a fictional German novelist, Benno von Archimboldi. Namely, Bolaño's wish was for 2666 to be published in separate volumes, one per year ( I believe).

And this is probably why, out of all the 'books' in 2666, I liked Book II best. €�”The Part About Fate,” 2666, p.348. The question of whether 2666 is a total novel seems interesting enough for its own thread. Roberto Bolaño's final novel 2666, released posthumously, is a sprawling literary tome.
