Funny how you managed to hit several plot points of Bolano's novel (hydra in it's own right) in this short but impressively informative post. How long until we get narca pop ballads in the style of Tigres del Norte + Britney Spears? (if it hasn't happened already) If the “plot” of 2666 could be spoiled I suppose this would be a spoiler…
