2666

What connects four European Germanists (united by their physical and intellectual passion for Benno von Archimboldi's work) to the African-American reporter Oscar Fate, who travels to Mexico to cover a boxing match? What connects the latter to Amalfitano, a melancholic and somewhat mad philosophy professor, who settles with his daughter, Rosa, in the border town of Santa Teresa? What connects the Chilean outsider to the series of macabre murders that claim the lives of hundreds of women in the Sonora desert? And what connects Benno von Archimboldi, the secret and mysterious post-war German writer, to these brutally raped and murdered women? 2666.
To be read without a safety net, like in a dream where we follow a path that can lead us to all possible places.
