Synopsis "2666 (in Spanish)"

Cuatro críticos literarios europeos viajan hasta Santa Teresa (trasunto de Ciudad Juárez), en Sonora, tras las huellas del desaparecido escritor Benno von Archimboldi. Allí conocerán a Amalfitano, el profesor universitario chileno quien, junto con su hija, se establece en la ciudad, a la que también llegará el periodista estadounidense Oscar Fate para hacer la crónica de un combate de boxeo. Como telón de fondo, y a su vez corazón del relato, se narran los asesinatos de mujeres en Santa Teresa y las infructuosas investigaciones de la policía. Con una fuerza arrolladora, Bolaño crea una obra magistral que abre el camino para la narrativa del siglo XXI. Violencia, historia y literatura se entretejen y se confunden en el epicentro del mal, allí donde nada puede parar el horror.

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.
