CASARES ADOLFO BIOY 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. 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. 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 Cortázar  Gabriel García Márquez  and Octavio
Paz  the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction's now famous postwar boom. As the
model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet's Last Year in Marienbad  it also changed the
history of film.
