Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border: an urban sprawl that draws lost souls to it like a vortex. Convicts and academics find themselves here, as does an American sportswriter, a teenage student with her widowed father, and a reclusive, 'missing' author. But, there is a darker side to the town. Girls and women are disappearing at an alarming rate. As a sense of conspiracy grows and an apocalyptic shadow draws closer, the corruption, violence and decadence of twentieth-century history reveals itself in a novel of an astonishing scale and burning intensity. TRANSLATED BY NATASHA WIMMER ‘A landmark in what’s possible for the novel. Bolaño has proven it can do anything’ New York Times ‘Wondrous... Unforgettable...will resonate for years to come’ Daily Telegraph ‘As riveting as any top-notch thriller... 2666 achieves something extremely rare in fiction: it provides an all-encompassing view of our world’ Sunday Times Pages: 912, Dimensions: 12.8x12.8cm
