2666 was supposed to be 3 books (upon bolanos request), but after he died they just stuffed it into one book and published it anyway.

guess what, i found them in the public library, thanks to your post it was in my mind the other day and when i did a search-- surprise! i grew up in spanish so gringospeak is actually still foreign to me (you'll notice at times i'm clumsy with idioms, also my syntax is more convoluted than your average english speaker-- that's my brain in spanish). anyhuevos, i've ordered Llamadas Telefónicas, will follow with Los Detectives Salvajes, etc-- meaning I'm gonna approach him chronologically. there's one called Nazi Literature in the Americas that I haven't found untranslated yet, but i'll keep looking for it.

so, thanks for bringing up this book cuz i've been meaning to read it for the last couple of years. i'd rep you if i could even if rep is meaningless-- so thanks.
