Overview: The best-known novel by Bioy Casares is La invención de Morel (The Invention of Morel). It is the story of a man who, evading justice, escapes to an island said to be infected with a mysterious fatal disease. Struggling to understand why everything seems to repeat, he realizes that all the people he sees there are actually recordings, made with a special machine, invented by Morel, which is able to record not only three-dimensional images, but also voices and scents, making it all indistinguishable from reality. The story mixes realism, fantasy, science fiction and terror.
Borges wrote a famous prologue in which he called it a work of “reasoned imagination” and linked it to H. G. Wells’ oeuvre. Both Borges and Octavio Paz described the novel as “perfect.” The story is held to be the inspiration for Alan Resnais’s Last Year at Marienbad and also an influence on the TV series Lost.
Genre: Argentinian Literature / Science Fiction / Fantasy
