Editorial Anagrama

Editorial Anagrama is the Spanish publishing house credited with the original 2004 publication of 2666. In the book’s publication record, its role is specific: it issued the work’s original edition, preceding the first American edition by four years.

Publication History

The front matter states that 2666 was originally published in 2004 by Editorial Anagrama in Spain. It separately identifies Farrar, Straus and Giroux as the United States publisher and dates the first American edition to 2008. These credits distinguish the original Spanish publication from the later American edition without implying that the two editions have identical production histories.

Bibliographic Significance

Editorial Anagrama’s credit establishes the book’s initial publication context and provides a chronological anchor for its international publication history. The available information supports this publishing role and date, but does not specify the house’s editorial process, the book’s Spanish-language edition details, or its distribution arrangements beyond identifying the original publication in Spain.
