Set in the fictional desert town of Santa Teresa on the US-Mexico border, 2666 is a staggering literary epic that weaves together the lives of academics, a reclusive novelist, an American sportswriter, and the residents of a city haunted by the disappearances of hundreds of women. As a sense of apocalyptic conspiracy grows, the novel explores the corruption, violence, and decadence of the twentieth century with burning intensity. This posthumous masterwork is widely considered one of the greatest achievements in contemporary literature—a haunting, all-encompassing vision of the modern world that defies categorization.

Bolano died in Blanes, Spain, at the age of fifty, just as his writing found global recognition.
