Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border: an urban sprawl that draws lost souls to it like a vortex. Convicts and academics find themselves here, as does an American sportswriter, a teenage student with her widowed father, and a reclusive, missing author. But there is a darker side to the town. As in the real town of Juarez, on which Santa Teresa is based, girls and women are disappearing at an alarming rate . . .
As 2666 progresses, as the sense of conspiracy grows, as the shadow of the apocalypse draws closer, Santa Teresa becomes an emblem of the corruption, violence and decadence of twentieth-century European history.

Отзывы
Книга необычная, поскольку написана, совместив в себе множество историй, объединенных общей сюжетной канвой. Кто-то из героев что-то ищет и при этом попадает в разного рода ситуации, которые меняют его жизнь к лучшему/худшему, в зависимости от того, какая ситуация. При этом детективная форма, в которую облачен роман - делает его куда сложнее, чем он есть на самом деле.
