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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInspired by Bioy Casares's fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, \u003ci\u003eThe Invention of Morel\u003c\/i\u003e has gone on to live a secret life of its own. Greatly admired by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction's now famous postwar boom. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet's Last Year in Marienbad, it also changed the history of film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adolfo Bioy Casares\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review Books Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.3lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.20w x 0.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781590170571","brand":"Ripon Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44149305606189,"sku":"9781590170571","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0681\/0501\/1245\/files\/img_9a6d0fe6-0cc8-4642-9f48-55e15f9182f8.jpg?v=1757279067","url":"https:\/\/riponbookstore.com\/products\/the-invention-of-morel-9781590170571","provider":"Ripon Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
