Overview

Un genio de la botella de leche mágica que te ofrece elegir entre ser Picasso o tener un Picasso; un perro furioso que le ladra a un colectivo en marcha y un pasajero que recuerda algo que había creído olvidado; una inmutable tradición del universo que reúne a Dios y a sus únicos invitados, los monos, a tomar el té una vez al año; un grupo de veinteañeros entusiastas que se entregan a la búsqueda de la simetría... El cerebro musical recoge, en esta nueva edición de su Relatos reunidos, una selección de relatos escritos por Aira entre 1996 y 2011, y a los que se añaden tres cuentos autobiográficos inéditos: «Duchamp en México», «Taxol» y «La broma». Estos veinte textos, a medio camino entre el cuento y la crónica imaginada, ponen de manifiesto el genio inclasificable de César Aira,uno de los autores más valorados del panorama literario en lengua castellana.«Me fascina su capacidad para contar sus propias historias, ya sean fábulas políticas o elaboradas bromas inventadas, cargadas de la más pura filosofía»<p style="text-align:left">Patti Smith«Uno de los tres o cuatro mejores escritores que escriben en español»<p style="text-align:left">Roberto Bolaño«César Aira es uno de los novelistas más provocativos e idiosincrásicos de la literatura en castellano. No hay que perdérselo»<p style="text-align:left">Natasha Wimmer, The New York Times«No se sabe si realmente lo es o si, de verdad, se hace. César Aira, el escritor argentino más prolífico (y quizás uno de los dos o tres autores más interesantes de los últimos años), a veces puede parecer un genio, y a veces también»<p style="text-align:left">Diego Gándara, Qué leer«Leer a César Aira es siempre una experiencia sorprendente, aunque debe advertirse que su ficción despliega un mundo tan reconocible como original»<p style="text-align:left">Arturo García Ramos, ABC«Leerlo es esperarse cualquier cosa, como si fuera un relato del Sombrerero Loco o una película de Hayao Miyazaki»<p style="text-align:left">Álvaro Cortina

ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA delirious collection of short stories from the Latin American master of micro-fiction.A delirious collection of short stories from the Latin American master of microfiction, César Aira–the author of at least eighty novels, most of them barely one hundred pages long–The Musical Brain & Other Stories 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.
