Reply to Roberto Bolaño’s 2666 and my struggle to love it by ThatCommanderShepard

Plenty of takes here. Mine will be no less subjective. First, it could be that this isn’t the right time for you to read this book. Second, it could be the wrong book for you. Third, my view is that it’s a solid book but im not sure if it has lasted through the lens of time for me. Im not saying the emperor has no clothes (like i would about DFW) but i do think there’s less there than meets the eye. I was on a bolano binge for a while and ive even read all his shorter books, but at some point it didnt resonate. In 2666 there are some very very good parts, but in the end it didnt hold up. Maybe I’ll revisit it in a few years, maybe i wont. Will see

Also most of those people got their money through ye old “privatize the profits socialize the costs” method of business. So i guess it’s consistent

damn. If our Milky Way were a grain of sand, how big would the universe be? This map broke my mind a little & if every galaxy were a grain of sand, how large a cube would it fill?
