Of all the protagonists throughout “2666,” Amalfitano is perhaps the most typical for Bolaño—a lone scholar and continental transplant who suffers bouts of profound fatigue and schizophrenic delusion. Paranoid over his daughter’s safety in the city, Amalfitano begins to recede into his own delusions. He’s haunted by a voice in his head that claims to be his grandfather, and the icon...
