Weltflucht
ISBN: 9783751809498 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Wie haben sich das Schreiben und die Literatur im Wandel der Zeit verändert, geht es allen zu gut, um noch wirklich interessante Literatur zu schreiben? Sind Lesende die klügeren Menschen und sollten wir uns alle ein Beispiel an Dalí nehmen, der frei heraus bezeugte, er sei ein Genie? Diesen Fragen und vielen mehr folgt César Aira mit seinen fünf Essays, in denen er über die Literatur mit dem Zweck der Weltflucht reflektiert, darüber, was ihn an der Schreibmethode Roussels so fasziniert und weshalb es manchmal gut ist, nicht auf jede Frage direkt die Antwort im Internet zu finden....

César Aira, argentyński prozaik uznawany za współczesnego klasyka, specjalizuje się w krótkich, intensywnych powieściach pisanych pod prąd narracyjnych trendów. On sam swoje dzieła nazwał kiedyś „zabawkami dla dorosłych” – to fabuły z iskrą szaleństwa, eksperymentalne i zaskakujące. Zebrane w tomie teksty ukazują typowe cechy pisarstwa Airy.
Powieść „Próba” (1992) przedstawia pełne napięcia spotkanie dwóch dziewczyn-punków z rówieśniczką i szybko okazuje się wybuchową historią o buncie i miłości. „Płacz” (1992) może przywodzić na myśl...

Alles beginnt mit einem Abendessen: Zusammen mit seiner Mutter ist der Erzähler bei einem Freund zu Gast. Doch der Abend gestaltet sich für ihn frustrierend, denn sofort beginnen Freund und Mutter mit ausuferndem Namedropping: Meisterlich beherrschen sie, was die kleinstädtische Welt zusammenhält und jedem seinen Ort zuweist, den Lebenden genauso wie den Toten. Der Erzähler, der all die Namen nicht kennt, sieht für sich daher hüben wie drüben keinen Platz, doch wohin mit sich? Zu Hause zappt er sich durchs Fernsehprogramm und landet beim örtlichen Reality-TV-Sender. Gerade geht es in...

How I Became a Nun
ISBN: 9780811216319 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "My story, the story of 'how I became a nun, ' began very early in my life; I had just turned six. The beginning is marked by a vivid memory, which I can reconstruct down to the last detail. Before, there is nothing, and after, everything is an extension of the same vivid memory, continuous and unbroken, including the intervals of sleep, up to the point where I took the veil ." So starts Cesar Aira's astounding "autobiographical" novel. Intense and perfect, this invented narrative of childhood experience bristles with dramatic humor at each stage of growing up: a first ice cream,...

The Musical Brain: And Other Stories
ISBN: 9780811220293 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A delirious collection of short stories from the Latin American master of microfiction, Cesar Aira the author of at least eighty novels, most of them barely one hundred pages long The Musical Brain comprises twenty tales about oddballs, freaks, and loonies. Aira, with his fuga hacia adelante or "flight forward" into the unknown, gives us imponderables to ponder and bizarre and seemingly out-of-context plot lines, as well as thoughtful and passionate takes on everyday reality. The title story, first published in the New Yorker, is the creme de la creme of this exhilarating collection."

In nineteenth-century Argentina, Ema, a delicate woman of indeterminate origins, is captured by soldiers and taken, along with with her newborn babe, to live as a concubine in a crude fort on the very edges of civilization. The trip is appalling (deprivations and rapes prevail along the way), yet the real story commences once Ema arrives at the fort, where she takes on a succession of lovers among the soldiers and Indians, leading to a brave and grand entrepreneurial experiment. As is usual with Aira's work, the wonder of the book is in the details of customs, beauty, and language, and the...

The Little Buddhist Monk & the Proof
ISBN: 9780811221122 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Little Buddhist Monk is a story of Asian invention gone wild, as a diminutive Korean Buddhist monk acts as a tour guide to an increasingly distraught French couple on a working vacation in the Far East. Proof brings us quickly back to the West, where two punks, plus a new recruit (-Wannafuck?- is the opening line as the two punk lesbians accost the chubby and shy Marcia on a quiet street in Buenos Aires), take control of a local supermarket with dire consequences for the hostages. These two Aira works are as different as night and day. Nevertheless, sex, identity, and...

Artforum
ISBN: 9780811229265 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Artforum is certainly one of César Aira’s most charming, quirky, and funny books to date. Consisting of a series of interrelated stories about his compulsion to collect Artforum magazine, this is not about art so much as it is about passionate obsession. At first we follow our hapless collector from magazine shops to used bookstores hunting for copies of Artforum. A friend alerts him to a copy somewhere and he obsesses about actually going to get it—will the shop be open, will the copy already be sold? Finally he takes out a subscription, but then it never comes, so he hounds the...

Varamo
ISBN: 9780811217415 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Among other things, this novella is an ironic allegory of the poet's vocation and inspiration, the subtlety of artistic genius, and our need to give literature an historic, national, psychological, and aesthetic context. But Aira goes further still -- converting the ironic allegory into a formidable parody of the expectations that all narrative texts generate -- by laying out the pathos of a man who between one night and the following morning is touched by genius. Once again Aira surprises us with his unclassifiable fiction: original and enjoyable, worthy of many a thoughtful chuckle,...

The Miracle Cures of Dr. Aira
ISBN: 9780811219990 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cesar Aira's newest novel in English is not about a conventional doctor. Single, in his forties, and poor, Dr. Aira is a skeptic. His personality -- his weaknesses, whims, and pet peeves -- is summed up in a series of digressions and regressions but he has a very special gift for miracles. He no longer cares about miracles, however, and has no faith in them. Perhaps he is even a little ashamed about his supernatural powers. Such is Dr. Aira, who also has to confront his arch-enemy-- chief of the Pinero Hospital, Dr. Actyn -- who is constantly trying to prove that Dr. Aira is a charlatan. Poor...
