2666 by Roberto Bolano, translated from the Spanish by Natasha Wimmer. Shanghai private library 2666 Shanghai wordsmith Sun Ganlu (孙甘露) dives into a novel at 2666. Bolaño's final, posthumously published novel, 2666, is dominated by the void. It wasn't as if I had been dying to read it. Roberto Bolaño died shortly after presenting the first draft of 2666 to his publisher, Anagrama. For the past week, I have been walking around, trying to think of what — finally — to say about Roberto Bolaño's novel, 2666. The English translation hits stores next Tuesday and the reviews couldn't be better, especially considering the book's 912 pages. No other book has done to me what 2666 did. A few weeks ago I said that I was considering doing the group read of Robert Bolano's novel 2666. Now that I have that distance, no tangible perspective has come other than this: nothing else I've read since has been 2666. The wide ranging geography and time frame of 2666 defy easy summary. 2666 is a novel written by Roberto Bolaño and published posthumously in Spanish in 2004. It was reported that he was not completely finished writing or editing the novel at the time of his death. What more is there to say about 2666?
