I finished the first section (the part about the critics) and am hooked on the way everything seems to be coming together in fragments of told stories. I started it now because I know that it'll take me a while to conquer it, and the infinite summer people start a 75 page a week discussion of it in January (a big jump on it was necessary on my part).Todd C.

The reference seems particularly connected to the latter events in book 3 of 2666, "The Part about Fate." Bolano describes a strange Lynchian evening in which one of the protagonists ventures into the home of some threatening but inscrutable mobsters. Everything seems slightly off, dreamlike, and odd. It reminded me of many Lynch scenes.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031273812910794559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-400527692256711896.post-74204591081222906592009-11-09T17:00:37.352-08:002009-11-09T17:00:37.352-08:00I have had 2666 on my "to read" list for...I have had 2666 on my "to read" list for a while, and with the Twin Peaks connection, it may just move up the queue! Galileo's Dream sounds interesting too.
