*It's absurd to expect that 1085 page novel, a three pound mad romp,** will
be a best seller*

Roberto Bolano's 2666, of similar heft and pagination, has been something of
a hit since the English translation was released, making it onto numerous
 bestseller
list, including the NYT's... the original version was also a huge hit
in the Spanish-speaking
world.
