Work Description

A cuatro profesores de literatura, Jean-Claude Pelletier, Piero Morini, Manuel Espinoza y Liz Norton, los une su fascinación por la obra de Beno von Archimboldi, un enigmático escritor alemán cuyo prestigio crece en todo el mundo. Su complicidad adquiere trazas de vodevil intelectual y cosmopolita –con ménage à trois incluido–, y desemboca en un disparatado peregrinaje a Santa Teresa (trasunto de Ciudad Juárez), donde hay quien dice que Archimboldi ha sido visto.

2666, novela póstuma del escritor chileno Roberto Bolaño, publicada en el año 2004, consta de cinco partes que el autor, por razones económicas, planeó publicar como cinco libros independientes para asegurar así, en caso de fallecimiento, el futuro de sus hijos. No obstante, tras su muerte, los herederos ponderaron el valor literario y decidieron editarla como una única novela. Asombroso alarde de audacia y de poderío narrativo, 2666 se propone como una nueva y revolucionaria modalidad de novela total.

Excerpts

La primera vez que Jean-Claude Pelletier leyó a Benno von Archimboldi fue en la Navidad de 1980, en París, en donde cursaba estudios universitarios de literatura alemana, a la edad de diecinueve años.
