2666: Thoughts and Feelings immediately after finishing
2666 is an incredible book where I felt a range of emotions depending on the section I read day by day. I have seen so many different analyses of this monstrous text, I'm sure due to the countless characters and subplots that seemingly lead to nowhere. I wanted to open up the floor again to hear new thoughts and provide some of my own.
To me, the main theme of this novel is combatting the apathy that plagues our world, especially the apathy around violence and neglect of overlooked communities. This is obviously present mainly with the murders of women in Santa Teresa, but is also shown through the critics eventual apathy of their search for Archimboldi, Black Dawn's apathy towards anything outside their interest areas, Sammer's apathy towards his war crimes, etc. I felt this wash over me in Book 4 as each detective seemed to give up on case after case. I know this is a very basic take on the book as a whole, which clearly has deeper and broader themes than this, but would love to know other thoughts to expand my understanding of the novel!
