Roberto Bolaño's The Savage Detectives took the literary world by storm, and his latest posthumous release, 2666, is five times as long and ten times as ambitious. Obviously there's a part of me that applauds the willingness of all three critics, at a time when 2666 was the Hot Hot Book in the US, to swim against the current. 2666, a novel by Chilean writer, Roberto Bolano, was published posthumously in 2004. This is the issue that Roberto Bolano sets up in his novel 2666. That's not something very many people are willing to do. When Roberto Bolaño, a Chilean writer seemingly destine for a Nobel Prize had he not passed away so unjustly at the age of 50, chose to use Detroit as a setting in his near-universally acclaimed final novel 2666.

The best blogging experience of my first year at the practice is, by far, the group read of 2666. Since Bolaño's mind tends to work most powerfully in self-contained bursts (anecdotes, images, monologues) rather than in narrative continuity, skipping around is far less of a ño-ño than it would be in a traditional novel. Certainly, it bears many attributes of a work of long fiction – memorable characters, richly evoked locations, abundant action, recurrent themes. It is clear that Bolaño's oeuvre builds towards 2666 and finds its fullest expression in it. In the New York Times, Steven Millhauser recently wrote about the distinctions between the genre of the short story and the novel. In the first section of Bolano's 2666, the academics have Archembolo's books in common.
