Synopsis "2666"

A cuatro profesores de literatura, Pelletier, Morini, Espinoza y Norton, los une su fascinacion por la obra de Beno von Archimboldi, un enigmatico escritor aleman cuyo prestigio crece en todo el mundo. La complicidad se vuelve vodevil intelectual y desemboca en un peregrinaje a Santa Teresa (trasunto de Ciudad Juarez), donde hay quien dice que Archimboldi ha sido visto. Ya alli, Pelletier y Espinoza se enteran de que la ciudad es desde anos atras escenario de una larga cadena de crimenes: en los vertederos aparecen cadaveres de mujeres con senales de haber sido violadas y torturadas. Es el primer asomo de la novela a sus procelosos caudales, repletos de personajes memorables cuyas historias, a caballo entre la risa y el horror, abarcan dos continentes e incluyen un vertiginoso travelling por la historia europea del siglo XX. 2666 confirma el veredicto de Susan Sontag: «el mas influyente y admirado novelista en lengua espanola de su generacion. Su muerte, a los cincuenta anos, es una gran perdida para la literatura». La publicacion de 2666 en la coleccion «Compactos», encuadernado en tapa dura para facilitar su manejabilidad, es un acontecimiento excepcional. «Una gran novela de novelas, sin duda la mejor de su produccion, tan prematuramente interrumpida» (Ana Maria Moix, El Pais); «Lo que aqui se persigue y se alcanza es la novela total, que ubica al autor de 2666 en el mismo equipo que Cervantes, Sterne, Melville, Proust, Musil y Pynchon» (Rodrigo Fresan, Que Leer).

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.
