In the words of The Washington Post With 2666 Roberto Bolao joins the ambitious overachievers of the twentiethcentury 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 novelists place in it. Bolao has joined the immortals. show more
