Mario Levrero

Broschiertes Buch

The Thinking-About-Gladys Machine

Beschreibung

Levreroâ s writing is distinguished by its bounteous imagination, and nowhere more so than in this 1970 story collection. From the Escher-like grammatical maze of â The Boarding Houseâ to the Lewis Carroll-esque â The Basementâ , this book explores uncanny domestic spaces, using the structures of the stories themselves as tools for re-inventing narrative possibility.

Autor

Mario Levrero was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1940 and died there in 2004. Levrero was a photographer, bookseller, comics scriptwriter, humorist, crossword author, and creator of brain games. He wrote twelve novels and several short story collections and it was not long before he gained cult status amongst readers in Uruguay and Argentina, despite keeping a low profile. He has inspired Latin American writers such as Rodolfo Fogwill, César Aira and Alejandro Zambra. In 2000 he was awarded the Guggenheim grant that allowed him to complete work on The Luminous Novel, which was published posthumously.
