2666: A Novel Roberto Bolano
Publisher: Picador

The English translation hits stores next Tuesday and the reviews couldn't be better, especially considering the book's 912 pages. The best blogging experience of my first year at the practice is, by far, the group read of 2666. Every book that isn't a masterpiece is cannon fodder, a slogging foot soldier, a piece to be sacrificed, since in multiple ways it mimics the design of the masterpiece. He worked on his novel 2666 until his last days, which was finally published in 2004 after his death. 2666 by Roberto Bolaño (2004) (translated from the spanish by Natasha Wimmer, 2008). Perhaps the first online group read of the novel was the "National Reading '2666' Month", a month-long reading by The New Yorker (The Book Bench) in January 2009. 2666 is a novel written by Roberto Bolaño and published posthumously in Spanish in 2004. 898 pages, Farrar, Straus and Giroux. I have very little patience for books I'm not enjoying and I have no reluctance to put a book down forever if I'm not getting "pleasure"* from it. The first thing I'll say is it took me a very long time to get through this book. 2666 is a detective novel featuring a character from Savage Detectives as the narrator.
