• Mar 9, 2024 The Savage Detectives By Roberto Bolaño
• Sep 17, 2024 2666 By Roberto Bolaño For a long time, I have believed that a truly great novel is one which contains a sliver of divinity, something which makes me want to believe in the power and glory of God. As an atheist, that feels like a sufficiently high bar, and the books that have passed it - say The Brothers Karamazov, East of Eden, One Hundred Years of Solitude - feel well within the bounds of the canonical greats. 2666 disproves this, as 2666 is clearly a great novel.
