Review Quote "The masterpiece among Bioy Casares short, intense novels is The Invention of Morel, a book that won raves from Borges (who placed it alongside Franz Kafkas The Trial), was called "perfect" by Octavio Paz, and inspired one of French cinemas most infamous moviesf, Last Year at Marienbad (1961). Though it was published in 1940, the books continuing relevance was recently proven when it was featured on Lost a cameo many viewers perceive as a key to that TV shows plot. But that doesnt mean this is a tough tract unfit for quality beach time... Just know that Morel is a poetic evocation of the experience of love, an inquiry into how we know one another, and a still-relevant examination of how technology has changed our relationship with reality. Its also a great read one youll be pressing into the hands of your fellow beach-goers." --Boldtype Promotional "Headline" Set an a mysterious island, Casaress novel weaves a complex web of plotting and narrative, building a story Details ISBN1590170571 Author Adolfo Bioy Casares Short Title INVENTION OF MOREL Pages 120 Series New York Review Books Classics Language English Translator Susan Jill Levine ISBN-10 1590170571 ISBN-13 9781590170571 Media Book Format Paperback Illustrations Yes Year 2003 Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Death 1910 Imprint NYRB Classics Edition Main DOI 10.1604/9781590170571 UK Release Date 2003-08-31 AU Release Date 2003-08-31 NZ Release Date 2003-08-31 US Release Date 2003-08-31 Publisher The New York Review of Books, Inc Edition Description Main Publication Date 2003-08-31 DEWEY 863 Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
