作者：Roberto Bolano

书名：2666: A Novel《2666:小说》

中文简介：《2666》是智利小说家罗贝托·波拉尼奥的最后一部小说。它出版于2004年，就在波拉尼奥早早地死于肝癌之后不久。它描述了发生在墨西哥华雷斯城（在书中称为圣特莱莎）持续的未解决的妇女连环凶杀案，二战东线情景和人们人际关系、事业的崩溃。《2666》通过众多的人物、广泛的地点、长范围的时间、许多的故事中的故事等表现出20世纪的退化。

英文简介：Three academics on the trail of a reclusive German author; a New York reporter on his first Mexican assignment; a widowed philosopher; a police detective in love with an elusive older woman--these are among the searchers drawn to the border city of Santa Teresa, where over the course of a decade hundreds of women have disappeared.

In the words of The Washington Post, "With 2666, Roberto Bolaño joins the ambitious overachievers of the twentieth-century novel, those like Proust, Musil, Joyce, Gaddis, Pynchon, Fuentes, and Vollmann, who push the novel far past its conventional size and scope to encompass an entire era, deploying encyclopedic knowledge and stylistic verve to offer a grand, if sometimes idiosyncratic, summation of their culture and the novelist's place in it. Bolaño has joined the immortals."
