Stemming from the friendship between Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares, this curious character is not, however, the trivial sum of his two illustrious parents, but the highly original product of an accomplished literary union.
H. Bustos Domecq occupies a place of honour in the not too extensive scene of Argentine literature. His bizarre and distinguished bibliography includes, besides perhaps the most original detective stories in the history of this now almost infinite genre, some of the most illustrious examples of Spanish language humour and parody stories. These wide-ranging qualities are to be found in these nine New Chronicles and which, like the philosopher’s sphere, proclaim the circumference but conceal the multiple forms of the universe.
