It didn't strike me as innovative (although for the time when it was written, it was) and the pacing was uneven, but I enjoyed it a lot.bookworm Alexhttp://thrillsofreading.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-31832598991284655622011-11-01T12:36:25.643+00:002011-11-01T12:36:25.643+00:00CBJ - I think I'd have to work up to another C...<b>CBJ</b> - I think I'd have to work up to another Casares, especially if it's stylistically similar.<br /><br /><b>Amy</b> - I think it will stay with me too, in outline at least. I find books which distort reality really interesting.<br /><br /><b>Dan</b> - let me know what you think, if you try it!<br /><br /><b>Stefanie</b> - I do enjoy Manguel's books, and could have guessed that he'd like this, given his love of Borges.<br /><br /><b>Lyndsey</b> - lovely!

I read a short story by M.T.

And it had the same stylistic issues you describe here. <br /><br />I did some looking into Casares and found he worked with Borges among others.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.com
