Summary
2666 by Roberto Bolano Picador Pounds 20 . Pounds 18 inc p& p (08451550713) *****
Every so often a novel comes along that creates waves of publishing hysteria. For once the hype is fully justified. This posthumously published novel by a Chilean master is the real deal. Bolano's apocalyptic vision begins with the search for a fictitious German author by four academics. It then moves to a Mexican border town where, in the novel's extraordinary centrepiece, the serial rape and murder of hundreds of women and the ongoing police investigation are graphically portrayed. Do not be put off by the length or apparent strangeness of this book; it is a work of stunning originality. If you read only one novel this year make it this one.See the full content of this document
