A divorce leads a man to Buenos Aires. In a trendy cafe he witnesses a minor accident involving Enrique, the owner of his guest house; this accident reunites Enrique with a childhood friend, with whom he had miraculously escaped from a raging fire in a miniature replica of a boarding school. So starts a true master-yarn from Booker finalist Aira.

By 1972, after a brief spell in prison following a student demonstration, he was writing anything but.Chris Andrews was born in Newcastle, Australia, in 1962. He teaches at Western Sydney University, and has translated books by Roberto Bolaño and César Aira, as well as publishing critical studies and poetry.
