The musical brain and other stories

Aira, Cesar, 1949-

Synopsis:

Elements of realism, magical realism and surrealism are found in the numerous novellas and short stories of César Aira. He is the master of the short take, weaving philsophical questions about existence and being with humor and magic. This collection of 20 short stories takes its title from one short story that deciphers the birth of a municipal library in the author's hometown of Coronel Pringles. Recommended for readers who like Jorge Luis Borges
