An """"anti-novel."""" It opens with more than fifty prologues-including ones addressed """"To My Authorial Persona,"""" """"To the Critics,"""" and """"To Readers Who Will Perish If They Don't Know What the Novel Is About""""-that are by turns philosophical, outrageous, ponderous, and cryptic.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Macedonio Fernández was one of the most influential--and strangest--Argentine authors ever. He was Borges's mentor; he campaigned for president by leaving notecards with the word "Macedonio" in cafes; he started a utopian society. He also wrote the "Last Bad Novel" (Adriana Buenos Aires) and the "First Good One" (The Museum of Eterna's Novel).

Margaret Schwartz is an assistant professor at Fordham University. She was a Fulbright fellow to Argentina in 2004, during which time she researched the life and works of Macedonio Fernández.

Adam Thirlwell is the author of the novels Politics and The Escape. His book about literature and translation, The Delighted States, won the Somerset Maugham Award in 2008. He has twice been named as one of Granta's "Best Young British Novelists."
