César Aira

César Aira is an Argentinian author celebrated for his imaginative and extensive literary output. He is currently newsworthy due to the publication of an anthology featuring seven of his novels, including five previously unavailable in French. Aira's work is characterized by its surrealist influences, reflecting his adolescent interests. He sometimes considers himself "a painter who writes," highlighting the visual and imaginative nature of his prose.
