【Content Introduction】
"The Musical Brain" is a collection of short stories by Argentinian author César Aira, including "The Musical Brain," "Picasso," "Brick Wall," "Shopping Cart," "Athena Magazine," "Dog," and "Two Men," along with an introduction by translator Kong Yalei. The stories in this collection are full of fantastical possibilities, with plots that defy reader expectations. There's no particular emphasis on completeness, and the stories often lack clear endings. In other words, "The Musical Brain" offers readers ample room for imagination, which in turn enriches and enriches each story's structure.
【Editor's Recommendation】
Overall, "The Musical Brain" is a work brimming with fantastical imagination. Its light, lively language, seemingly nonchalant narrative tone, and profound philosophical concepts behind the stories all captivate readers. Therefore, this collection of novels is a rare masterpiece in every respect. The original Spanish version of this collection remains unchanged in the English translation, but for better reading quality, we adjusted the order of the different chapters during the editing process of the Chinese edition, placing the more representative works at the beginning.
【Celebrity Recommendation】
"César Aira is an eccentric man, but he is indeed one of the very few greatest Spanish-language writers of our time. Once people start reading Aira's works, they will inevitably be unable to put them down." - Roberto Bolaño, author of "2666" "Ella looks at everything with his cubist eyes. His writing makes the existence of time invisible and allows fantasy to take root. In his writing, even the most bizarre plots can make readers read without doubt and help people break free from the mediocrity and monotony of life." - The New York Times Book Review
"Wild imagination, incredible sense of humor." - Paris Review of Books
"Cesar Aira is the most remarkable living writer." —National Magazine
