«La trama celeste» is the short story collection by Adolfo Bioy Casares, published by Alianza in its El Libro de Bolsillo series in paperback (179 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together six stories written by Bioy Casares between 1944 and 1948. In them the author plays with appearance and reality, parallel worlds and temporal games: from a fantasy turned into obsession in «En memoria de Paulina» to an attempt to defeat time in «El perjurio de la nieve». Also notable are «El ídolo», «La trama celeste», «De los reyes futuros» and «El otro laberinto».
Part of the El Libro de Bolsillo series from Alianza Editorial; the cover is illustrated by Ángel Uriarte.
For readers of fantasy literature and short stories, and for those who follow the work of the 1990 Cervantes Prize winner.
Adolfo Bioy Casares was an Argentine fiction writer, journalist, diarist, and translator. He was a friend and frequent collaborator of his fellow countryman Jorge Luis Borges. He is the author of the Fantastique novel The Invention of Morel.
