Suffice it to say that making Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 into a movie would be… challenging.
This is absolutely a New Directions book, and we think those of you who’ve fallen in love with Javier Marías or Roberto Bolaño or László Krasznahorkai as much as we did will agree. Wholeheartedly.
New Directions really knows how to make a book sound enticing!
![“It is unclear whether publishing [Roberto] Bolaño’s unfinished works as popular books, instead of, say, scholarly editions, adds anything to the Bolaño legacy. In fact, it may demean it. The continued publication and popular packaging of his incomplete work may actually be diluting his reputation as a writer of varied talents and fearless ambition.”

Chile’s official website says you should read Roberto Bolaño’s books before visiting. We’ll take it one step further. You should read his books no matter what you’re doing.
