For all the precision and poetry of its language, for all the complexity of its structure, for all the range of styles and genres it acknowledges and encompasses, for all its wicked humor, its inventiveness, and sophistication, 2666 seems like the work of a literary genius.” - Francine Prose, Harper's Magazine “The opening of 2666 had me in its thrall from those first few pages. It is bold in a way that few works really are -it kicks away the divide between playfulness and seriousness.” - Henry Hitchings, Financial Times (UK) “A work of devastating power and complexity, a final statement worthy of a master.” - Adam Mansbach, The Boston Globe “Indeed, Bolaño produced not only a supreme capstone to his own vaulting ambition, but a landmark in what's possible for the novel as a form in our increasingly, and terrifyingly, postnational world.” - Jonathan Lethem, The New York Times Book Review “A masterpiece.the most electrifying literary event of the year.” - Lev Grossman, Time
