In the first section of Bolano's 2666, the academics have Archembolo's books in common. Facetious, I know, but hey, I got through the book. By Roberto Bolaño (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) $30. Over the past 2 months, I've been reading Roberto Bolaño's encyclopedic novel 2666 in the spare minutes before bed. Even the critical praise is monstrous, from the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award to Time's Best Fiction Book of the same year. And this is probably why, out of all the 'books' in 2666, I liked Book II best. That is the basis for their connection. 2666 is a monstrous novel, in every conceivable way. 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. And the experience was generally positive. The best blogging experience of my first year at the practice is, by far, the group read of 2666. 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. 2666: A Novel Roberto Bolano Publisher: Picador. I can imagine that as a book 2666 would present a huge challenge to me, because it's very testing in places. Bolaño's final novel, 2666, represents a sort of apotheosis of that dread. According to his heirs, Roberto Bolaño left instructions that his final work, 2666, should be published as five separate novels, each corresponding to one of the sections of the book as it appears today.
