2666 is the last novel by Roberto Bolaño. It was released in 2004, a year after Bolaño’s death. Its themes are manifold, and it relates, among other things, the unsolved and ongoing female homicides of Ciudad Juárez (called Santa Teresa in the novel), the Eastern Front in World War II, and the breakdown of relationships and careers. The apocalyptic 2666 explores 20th-century degeneration through a wide array of characters, locations, time periods, and stories within stories.
Over 1100 pages long in its Spanish edition, and almost 900 in its English translation, it is divided into five parts. An English-language translation by Natasha Wimmer was published in the United States in 2008.
=============
This upload is based on the 1.5 GB 96 kbps CD rip.
I combined the tracks into the five parts and then divided those into 20-25 minute chunks (the book has no chapters).
These I reencoded with fre:ac to MP3 mono VBR approx 30 kbps, 489MB for 39 hours.
Also added an epub version of the book.
