There will be no compulsory secondary reading or outside preparation beyond the novel itself. (Please read each Part before the corresponding week’s meeting).
The novel is divided into five sections, and we will read one section per week. In addition to these thematic concerns, we will dissect the novel aesthetically, examining how each part employs different styles and structures. In this reading group, we will approach 2666 as a multi-faceted, expansive novel that is many things at once: border narrative, history of violence, and meditation on the art and calling of literature. Its sprawling plot takes in a mysterious German author and a gang of literary critics who set out to find him, the sinister and mostly unsolved femicides in the fictional border city of Santa Teresa (largely based on Ciudad Juárez) along with fascinating explorations of the nature of horror, violence and art in the 20th century.
