Hunger's Bride/August Fiction

[gonzalo maier]

I've read 2666 in spanish.
In fact I have read the whole Bolaño's work, but 2666 is his best
novel. A few critics said that is the best literary work in spanish
since Don Quijote. And who knows, can be.
It's just a masterpiece.
I just love it and recommend it.
If anyone in the list can read in spanish, check this critic:

That's all
(Sorry for my poor english)
