Adolfo Bioy Casares

233 books873 followers
Adolfo Vicente Perfecto Bioy Casares (1914-1999) was born in Buenos Aires, the child of wealthy parents. He began to write in the early Thirties, and his stories appeared in the influential magazine Sur, through which he met his wife, the painter and writer Silvina Ocampo, as well Jorge Luis Borges, who was to become his mentor, friend, and collaborator. In 1940, after writing several novice works, Bioy published the novella The Invention of Morel, the first of his books to satisfy him, and the first in which he hit his characteristic note of uncanny and unexpectedly harrowing humor. Later publications include stories and novels, among them A Plan for Escape, A Dream of Heroes, and Asleep in the Sun. Bioy also collaborated with Borges on an Anthology of Fantastic Literature and a series of satirical sketches written under the pseudonym of H. Bustos Domecq.

Un venezolano llega a una isla del Pacífico meridional y se encuentra con una invención financiada por el capital suizo y alemán, con tecnología apoyada por científicos holandeses, en donde se escucha incesantemente música norteamericana.
Un Robinson que no es un burgués como Crusoe, sino un revolucionario como Guevara, y que llega a una isla que a veces está desierta y a veces no.
[SPOILER] Un Robinson, decía, que llega a una isla habitada por parientes de Frankenstein.
Maravisha.

El fugitivo, cualquiera, se refugia en la isla. Un día llega un grupo de gente. Llegan ? Son reales ? Inmorales? Se repite siempre el mismo día, la misma semana ? Si pudiera una persona vivir una sola semana, y esa semana fuera la misma siempre? Sería real esa vida o sería falsa? La inmortalidad existe?
"Ya no estoy muerto: estoy enamorado" para la inmortalidad es necesario retener aquello que interesa realmente. Renunciar a mantener vivo el cuerpo.
