The Book Design Review blog takes a quick look at the cover of 2666:
The hardcover and one of the paperbacks features a detail of Gustave Moreau‘s Jupiter and Semele (below; click to enlarge). Jupiter is, of course, Zeus; Semele is the mother of Dionysius.
This blog will be a clearinghouse for all links and topics related to Bolaño and his books,
but it will also be the home of bolano-l, the mailing list. Subscriptions to the list will be active before the end of November. Plans are underway for a group read of 2666 to begin on the list in early 2009.
