Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Wildly Funny.

Surreal, witty, and funny.

The first collection of Aira's stories might be his masterpiece.

Aira conjures a languorous, surreal atmosphere of baking heat and quietly menacing shadows that puts one in mind of a painting by de Chirico.

Logic-defying brilliance.

One of the most celebrated authors in Latin America.

The novelist who can't be stopped. Aira's novels are dense, unpredictable confections delivered in plain, stealthily lyrical style capable of accommodating his fondness for mixing metaphysics, realism, pulp fiction, and Dadaist incongruities.--Michael Greenberg

Unsettling and elegant parables.

A lampoon of our need for narrative. No one today does megafiction like Aira.--Robyn Creswell

Everything in Aira has that Mad Scientist feel to it.

Reseña del editor:

A delirious collection of short stories from the Latin American master of microfiction, César Aira–the author of at least eighty novels, most of them barely one hundred pages long–The Musical Brain & Other Stories comprises twenty tales about oddballs, freaks, and loonies. Aira, with his fuga hacia adelante or "flight forward" into the unknown, gives us imponderables to ponder and bizarre and seemingly out-of-context plot lines, as well as thoughtful and passionate takes on everyday reality. The title story, first published in the New Yorker, is the creme de la creme of this exhilarating collection.
