Description
Five , selected from over 100 untranslated novels and stories by the Duchamp of Latin America (Natasha Wimmer), brings togethereach an astonishing workMargarita: A Memory, The Dream, Musical Brushstrokes, Princess Springtime, and The Hormone Pill. Following a cast of dreamlike characters including cyber nuns, a young princess forced to be a hack translator, a news-paper vendor, and General Winter and his sadistic sidekick, the Little Christmas Tree, Five shows the many facets of Airas multifarious mind as he turns expectations inside-out and gleefully explodes genre conventions.
Five is a must-have for Airas legion of devoted fans around the world and a fine introduction to the as-yet uninitiated. A satisfyingly hefty installment from this exquisite miniaturist (WSJ) and writer whose cubist eye sees from every angle (NYT); because once you start reading Aira, you dont want tostop (Roberto Bola?o).
