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. Bolaño's final novel, 2666, represents a sort of apotheosis of that dread. Nowhere else is his writing more decadently sampled than with his major novels–”The Savage Detectives” and his magnum opus, “2666,” both translated from the original Spanish by Natasha Wimmer. €�”The Part About Fate,” 2666, p.348. Roberto Bolaño's final novel 2666, released posthumously, is a sprawling literary tome. Roberto Bolaño's 2666 is an obsessive and world-shifting epic. For the past week, I have been walking around, trying to think of what — finally — to say about Roberto Bolaño's novel, 2666. The question of whether 2666 is a total novel seems interesting enough for its own thread. In the New York Times, Steven Millhauser recently wrote about the distinctions between the genre of the short story and the novel. The wide ranging geography and time frame of 2666 defy easy summary. When I read it, I will be completely absorbed by it.
