2666 (Spanish Edition)

Uno de los 10 libros del a?o del New York Times Book Review

Cuatro acad?micos tras la pista de un enigm?tico escritor alem?n; un periodista de Nueva York en su primer trabajo en M?xico; un fil?sofo viudo; un detective de polic?a enamorado de una esquiva mujer –estos son algunos de los personajes arrastrados hasta la ciudad fronteriza de Santa Teresa, donde en la ?ltima d?cada han desaparecido cientos de mujeres.

Publicada p?stumamente, la ?ltima novela de Roberto Bola?o no s?lo es su mejor obra y una de las mejores del siglo XXI, sino uno de esos excepcionales libros que trascienden a su autor y a su ?poca para formar parte de la literatura universal.

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 Bola?o 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. Bola?o has joined the immortals.”
