The Thinking-About-Gladys Machine

English

By (author): Mario Levrero

Translated by: Annie McDermott, Kit Schluter

Levreros writing is distinguished by its bounteous imagination, and nowhere more so than in this 1970 story collection. From the Escher-like grammatical maze of The Boarding House to the Lewis Carroll-esque The Basement, this book explores uncanny domestic spaces, using the structures of the stories themselves as tools for re-inventing narrative possibility.

Stories that play with space, an absurd space when looked at with logic. And that is exactly the challenge that Levrero sets the reader: to read from their imagination, from that place where anything is possible, where fears, phobias and obsessions have free rein. Tati Jurado
