Abstract
In these lines it is demonstrated that “De la parte de Archimboldi”, a chapter of 2666 (2004) by Roberto Bolaño (1947–2000), can be linked to a series of Spanish realistic popular novels that began in the second half of the 19th century. It is said that the postmodern novel has adopted the popular and the cultural streams although no definite examples of current novels have been studied. On discovering the popular features which distinguish 2666 (2004), we analyse the contemporary Hispano–American novel, following the paths of authors such as Vance R. Holloway and Gonzalo Navajas. The text shows how Roberto Bolaño takes advantage of the features of the popular novel but uses its narrative codes in an ironic and new manner.
