BOOK
2666 by Roberto Bolaño, translated by Natasha Wimmer
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008/2009/2016)
ISBN-13: 978-1466804821
Delve into the intricate and enigmatic world of 2666. Roberto Bolaño’s brilliant novel transcends genres and boundaries, inviting readers to embark on a journey that interweaves themes of literature, violence, history, and the human psyche.
From the sprawling landscapes of Santa Teresa (a fictional Ciudad Juárez) to the multifaceted characters that populate its pages, we will join the novel’s exploration of the absurdity and beauty of the human condition. Through thought-provoking discussions, we will (try to!) unravel the mysteries behind the book’s title, its five interconnected parts, and the threads that tie them together.
In the words of Stephen King, “This surreal novel can’t be described; it has to be experienced in all its crazed glory.”
