Commentary Supposing Books The Invention of Morel
Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of the Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. This fantastic exploration of realities also bears comparison with the sharpest work of Philip K. Dick. It is both a story of suspense and a bizarre romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious. Inspired by Bioy Casares's fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to find such admirers as Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, and Octavio Paz. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet's Last Year in Marienbad, this classic of modern Latin-American literature also changed the history of film.List Books Toward The Invention of Morel

What a great little book! Casares comes as close here as a writer possibly could to successfully mixing literary fiction with elements of science fiction. I feel like there is very little that I can say about the plot without spoiling it. Over the first thirty pages I was convinced that this was merely a ghost story more specifically the ghost story that inspired Shyamalans whole I see dead people thing. Casares totally surprised me at that point by taking the story in a direction that I hadA surrealistic story with perfect execution. I am captivated by the setting and protagonist's inner conflicts. Me! A shallow reader who enjoy cheap thrilling of pulp fictions enjoyed a Latin American literature work! That's how good Casares's writing skill is. Mystery has big part on the story, so even it is a well known literature, I don't want to say much about the plot. But I can say the atmosphere alone is a perfect example of surrealism of early 20th century. I can't help myself imagining
Insane. Insane. Again. Insane. Then I resumed my efforts, moving to other parts of the wall. Chips fell, and, when large pieces of the wall began to come down, I kept on pounding, bleary-eyed, with an urgency that was far greater than the size of the iron bar, until the resistance of the wall (which seemed unaffected by the force of my repeated pounding) pushed me to the floor, frantic and exhausted. First I saw, then I touched, the pieces of masonry they were smooth on one side, harsh, earthy

I read this as it was short and I needed a break from a rather difficult history book. It was an interesting read to say the least. I came to the end and thought that it was maybe an analogy for purgatory or something to do with being in a state of dying. Then I read the wiki and a few reviews and can only say What would I know? Not much.
4.5/5In order for this novel to work the groundwork had to be situated early and deftly, the authors voice sculpted within the fictions flow. At first the slowness, repetitiveness earned the book a 2 star rating and my reading ability a one lone lonely star. Okay, maybe a two but the last in pieces and I had to glue it together. Then I waited for it to dry. Impatient waiting I decided it best to give the novella up. There is a condition where the ribs become inflamed as does the lower back.
I'm not sure If I actually pick these books or they just end up in my hands. This is definitely one of those books which makes me question everything. Is everything real? ( More of such books here )First seventy-something percent of the book seems too unreal and dreamy, and that writing style doesn't help. But then the bomb hits and boom, you had it coming and you never knew. The only other Spanish author I've read is Paulo Coelho and we just don't get along. It might just be because of the fact
