$300.00 CAD Sale

One novella and six short stories by Argentine writer Adolfo Bioy Casares. Inspired by Casares' fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, the title story is both suspenseful and bizarrely romantic, every detail being both clear and mysterious. Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of the Screw.
