Description: The Invention Of Morel : Paperback : The New York Review of Books, Inc : 9781590170571 : 1590170571 : 01 Sep 2003 : Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of the Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Set on a mysterious island, Bioy's novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious. Inspired by Bioy Casares's fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own.

Review: I feel a little unfair giving this poor rating this being classic and rated by Borges and all that but I really did not enjoy reading it. To me it read like a good essay by a schoolboy and it felt like a big inside joke where all the insiders who would have understood the joke had died. But I read it for a book club and I really enjoyed the discussion of the book at the book club which is the reason I am writing this review - if you would like a book that gives rise to very deep and meaningful discussions over the meaning of life and other profound things under the sun - choose this book.
