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.  Suzanne Jill Levine s revision of Ruth Simm s translation offers a fresh experience of an uncanny work of genius.Inspired by Bioy Casares s fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own.  Greatly admired by Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction s now famous postwar boom.  As the model for Alain Renais and Alain Robbe-Grillet s Last Year in Marienbad, it also changed the history of film.","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48073198829787,"sku":"9781590170571-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ed530c8b-560c-4807-bb17-300f4028a5a2.jpg?v=1766394562","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781590170571-secondhand-the-invention-of-morel","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
