This essay attempts to prove the hypothesis that, in Roberto Bolaño’s work, time will be assumed as a trip to chaos and the perception of “time lags” within the chronological structure. This approach will be applied, concretely, to 2666, where Bolaño presented his greatest concern about the subject of time, and more specifically to “The Part of Archimboldi”, where it is evident that the German writer would not only act as a character who, because of his novels’ charm, causes his latter persecution, but also would act as a true “black hole”, capable of gobbling up all the aesthetical and existential circumstances that surround him.
