A major, retrospective launch of Roberto Bolano's work - now published as a Vintage Classics author for the first time.

Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border- an urban sprawl that draws lost souls to it like a vortex.

Convicts and academics find themselves here, as does an American sportswriter, a teenage student with her widowed father, and a reclusive, 'missing' author. But, there is a darker side to the town. Girls and women are disappearing at an alarming rate.

As a sense of conspiracy grows and an apocalyptic shadow draws closer, the corruption, violence and decadence of twentieth-century history reveals itself in a novel of an astonishing scale and burning intensity.

'Wondrous... Unforgettable...will resonate for years to come' Daily Telegraph

'As riveting as any top-notch thriller... 2666 achieves something extremely rare in fiction- it provides an all-encompassing view of our world' Sunday Times
