Mise en Abyme

Studying Roberto Bolaño's work is not easy since there is an abundant scientific production and research on it especially in relation to his two most famous novels: The Savage Detectives and 2666 the latter being the one we will talk about in this research.This already poses a first problem since when entering a field where there is so much previous content one runs the risk of approaching the work from prejudice which hinders the understanding and research from a different perspective; however the proposal of this thesis is to approach 2666 from amazement trying to explore other approaches.This research starts from one of the sketches found in a reprint of 2666 published by Alfaguara in 2019 which were taken from the Bolaño Archive; it should be noted that the specific selection of that sketch was made because it is the drawing of the tubular structure which is what will be studied in this work.
