Book Description:
|
An English naturalist roams the Argentine pampas in search of the most rare and elusive of animals: the Legibrian Hare. The Indians he meets report sightings of the hare but on investigation, Clarke finds in these sightings more than meets the eye. The Hare, the first novel by C?sar Aira to be translated into English, is a subtle reflection on love, language and colonial dependency. It introduces a writer whose wit and irony make him the successor of Borges.
