Dustwrapper bright. ***898 pages 242mm x 160mm. ***'2666 is the last novel by Roberto Bolaño. It was released in 2004, a year after Bolaño's death. It is over 1100 pages long in Spanish, and almost 900 in its English translation. It is divided into five parts. An English-language translation by Natasha Wimmer was published in the United States in 2008, by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, and in the United Kingdom in 2009, by Picador. It is a fragmentary novel. In Chile, it won the Altazor Award in 2005. The New York Times Book Review included it in the list of "10 Best Books of 2008"; Time named it Best Fiction Book of 2008; and the novel won the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction. Wimmer's translation was nominated for the Best Translated Book Award. Critics have compared it to the work of W. G. Sebald. They praised the book's multiple story lines and scope.' (Wiki) ***'Told in five parts, "2666" is the epic novel that defines one of Latin America's greatest writers and his unique vision of the modern world. Conceived on an astonishing scale, and - in the last years of Roberto Bolaño's life - with burning, visionary commitment, it has been greeted across Europe and Latin America as his masterpiece, surpassing even his previous work in inventiveness, imagination, beauty and scope '. (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***'Bolano makes you feel changed for having read him; he adjusts your angle of view on the world.' - The Guardian (Review quote taken from the back panel) ***A first impression of the first UK edition of Bolano's acclaimed novel "2666", in near fine condition, and much harder to find than the US equivalent due to a smaller print run. Also, being such a huge book, copies in this near fine condition are few and far between. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 8747
