Soft cover. Condición: Fine. September 2003, 1st printing. 103pp. Translated by Ruth L.C. Simms, Prologue by Jorge Luis Borges, Introduction by Suzanne Jill Levine, Illustrated by Norah Borges de Torre. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine/As New condition. "Jorge Luis Borges declared THE INVENTION OF MOREL a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of the Screw. This fantastic exploration of virtual realities also bears comparison with the sharpest work of Philip K. Dick. It is both a story of suspense and a bizarre romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious. [] Inspired by Bioy Casares's fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, THE INVENTION OF MOREL has gone on to find such admirers as Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, and Octavio Paz. The novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction's now famous postwar boom. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet's 'Last Year in Marienbad,' it also changed the history of film." [publisher copy] "The Argentine Adolfo Bioy Casares is an urban comedian, a parodist who turns fantasy and science fiction inside out to expose the banality of our scientific, intellectual, and especially erotic pretensions. Bioy makes us laugh at our foibles with an affectionate yet elegant touch. . . Behind his post-Kafka, pre-Woody Allen sense of nonsense is a metaphysical vision, particularly of life's brevity and the slippery terrain of love."--Suzanne Jill Levine. "THE INVENTION OF MOREL may be described, without exaggeration, as a perfect novel. . . Bioy Casares's theme is not cosmic, but metaphysical: the body is imaginary, and we bow to the tyranny of a phantom. Love is a privileged perception, the most complete and total perception not only of the unreality of the world but of our own unreality: not only do we traverse a realm of shadows, we ourselves are shadows."--Octavio Paz. Pristine paperback w/that beautiful Louise Brooks cover, brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable.
