    What does the title “2666” mean? The number was not mentioned in the novel itself, though it was referred to in Bolaño’s other books. And what about the supposedly 6th part of the book? Did not the author identify the five parts as definitive chapters comprising the whole book?

    Have time for some Bolaño-speak? Join us in this group:

    The Telegraph reports that they found 2 new Bolaño novels among the papers he left, including what could be a 6th part to "2666". I'm wondering if they will republish the novel with the 6th part included. Either way, it's good to hear that there are more writings, in addition to the other novels that have yet to be translated into English.
