Facetious, I know, but hey, I got through the book. He was still working on it when he died in 2003. Part of my four-day holiday weekend has been spent thinking about Roberto Bolaño's 2666. That's not something very many people are willing to do. He completed its first draft shortly before his death in 2004. I can imagine that as a book 2666 would present a huge challenge to me, because it's very testing in places. Over the past 2 months, I've been reading Roberto Bolaño's encyclopedic novel 2666 in the spare minutes before bed. This is the issue that Roberto Bolano sets up in his novel 2666. Obviously there's a part of me that applauds the willingness of all three critics, at a time when 2666 was the Hot Hot Book in the US, to swim against the current. Certainly, it bears many attributes of a work of long fiction – memorable characters, richly evoked locations, abundant action, recurrent themes. Calling Roberto Bolano's 2666 a novel is somewhat misleading. And the experience was generally positive. 2666, a novel by Chilean writer, Roberto Bolano, was published posthumously in 2004. The book is huge, almost 1,000 pages. Chilean author Roberto Bolano posthumously won the National Book Critics Circle award Thursday night for the English translation of his 912-page novel 2666. Roberto Bolaño's final novel 2666, released posthumously, is a sprawling literary tome. Bolaño's final novel, 2666, represents a sort of apotheosis of that dread.
