Alternation 2666

Alternation 2666 A wise man once told me, "The beginning of the end, is just merely the end of the beginning." But is that really true? I don't really know what to think anymore. Everything happened so quickly, I received some gifts for my birthday and my life changed dramatically, now I'm a green like alien in cryo-sleep having nightmares, my name use to be Erika, now it's 2666 the last number of humans taken and put in cryo-sleep.

A NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER THE POSTHUMOUS MASTERWORK FROM "ONE OF THE GREATEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL MODERN WRITERS" (JAMES WOOD, THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW) Composed in the last years of Roberto Bolaño's life, 2666 was greeted across Europe and Latin America as his highest achievement, surpassing even his previous work in its strangeness, beauty, and scope. Its throng of unforgettable characters includes academics and convicts, an American sportswriter, an elusive German novelist, and a teenage student and her widowed, mentally unstable father. Their lives intersect in the urban sprawl of SantaTeresa—a fictional Juárez—on the U.S.-Mexico border, where hundreds of young factory workers, in the novel as in life, have disappeared.
