Librarians' books of the week (Nuria Segui)

Monday / “2666” by Roberto Bolaño

robertobolano2666

Two axes cross 2666, the writer —how he likes, Bolaño liked to work with characters dedicated to literature— Benno von Archimboldi and the city —how he likes, Bolaño liked to develop his stories anywhere in Latin America— Mexican Santa Teresa as a space where death roams freely. And through these two axes a colossal, disproportionate architecture is built, with exact profiles like knives and inexact like the desert wind: more or less important characters wander through it, but always treated with the nerve and race of the great novelist who is —was— Roberto Bolaño.

Taken from onlyliterature.
