Mise en Abyme

Studying Roberto Bola o'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 Bola o 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.
