Set on a mysterious island, Bioy s novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious.  Suzanne Jill Levine s revision of Ruth Simm s translation offers a fresh experience of an uncanny work of genius.Inspired by Bioy Casares s fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own.  Greatly admired by Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction s now famous postwar boom.  As the model for Alain Renais and Alain Robbe-Grillet s Last Year in Marienbad, it also changed the history of film.\u003cbr\u003eAdolfo Bioy Casares (1914-1999) won the prestigious Cervantes Prize for Spanish literature in 1990.  The Master-piece of his late years, Asleep in the Sun is forthcoming from NYRB Classics.Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) co-authored several works with Adolfo Bioy Casares, including Chronicles of Bustos Domecq, Six Problems for Don Isidro Parodi, and Extraordinary Tales.\r\n                                        ","brand":"The Invention Of Morel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42283577082047,"sku":"9781590170571","price":31.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/products\/9781590170571.jpg?v=1679035826","url":"https:\/\/www.popweasel.co.nz\/products\/the-invention-of-morel","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
