Synopsis "2666 "

A NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER THE POSTHUMOUS MASTERWORK FROM ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL MODERN WRITERS (JAMES WOOD, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW) Composed in the last years of Roberto Bolaño's life, 2666 was greeted across Europe and Latin America as his highest achievement, surpassing even his previous work in its strangeness, beauty, and scope. Its throng of unforgettable characters includes academics and convicts, an American sportswriter, an elusive German novelist, and a teenage student and her widowed, mentally unstable father. Their lives intersect in the urban sprawl of SantaTeresa--a fictional Juárez--on the U.S.-Mexico border, where hundreds of young factory workers, in the novel as in life, have disappeared.

Roberto Bolaño Ávalos (Santiago de Chile, 1953 – Barcelona, 2003) was a Chilean writer and poet who became one of the most original and influential voices in contemporary Hispanic American literature. His work revitalized the Latin American novel by challenging traditional genres and leaving a deep personal mark. During his youth, he lived in Chile and Mexico, where he founded the infrarealist poetic movement, which defined his early years as a writer. In 1973, he returned to Chile to support the Allende government, but after the military coup, he was arrested and then returned to Mexico to fully dedicate himself to literature. In the late seventies, he settled in Spain, where he lived until his death. From the nineties, facing a serious illness, he turned to narrative, achieving international recognition with works like The Savage Detectives (1998), awarded with important prizes, and the posthumous novel 2666 (2004), considered one of the great contemporary literary works. His legacy, translated into multiple languages, continues to influence writers and readers around the world, consolidating him as a key figure to understand the literature of the 21st century, thanks to his passionate, rebellious, and deeply lucid style.

No cumplió mis expectativas porque está en inglés y en NINGUNA parte del catálogo lo especifican. Es estúpido leer a Bolaño en un idioma distinto al original.
