I really enjoyed 2666, but my word it was a big book. 'The Savage Detectives' is similarly critically acclaimed, and a semi-autobiographical satire on poets. There are multiple narrators though and it seemed too disjointed for me to follow. It's the story of two poets who don't write much poetry but live the life - worshipping a long-forgotten poet who may not even have existed, decrying every other writer and throwing them out of their group, travelling the world being moody and unreliable and leaving myths behind them. Too much for me though.
