So it looks like the fat advance copies of Roberto Bola\u00f1o’s novel 2666 in English translation have begun arriving in reviewers’ mailboxes. It will be interesting to see how this book is received, after the gush of critical (and reader) enthusiasm for The Savage Detectives<\/em> last year. My opinion, which goes against the opinion of many writers and critics (such as pioneering Bola\u00f1o booster Francisco Goldman), is that The Savage Detectives<\/em> is the better work, more satisfying, less self-conscious, more fun, more a book that will outlast whatever hype becomes attached to it. And I think The Savage Detectives<\/em> is a deeper book in the end though the themes of 2666<\/em> would seem perhaps to carry more ballast: death and evil. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
