| Quotation | Curious novel of Bioy Casaris, Plan d'evasion, about a governor of Devil's Island experimenting with certain prisoners to put them in a different, schizophrenic sort of a world by various operations and "adaptations." It ends up by being a very good and very original mystery story.... Book starts slow and ends well, with a slow, progressive complication of threads. A kindly Argentinean Kafka, but clear and Latin, without Kafka's brooding and darkness. In the end, I like this curious book which was sent down by New Directions. |
