<p> <em> <strong>Five</strong> </em>, selected from over 100 untranslated novels and stories by "the Duchamp of Latin America" (Natasha Wimmer), brings together--each an astonishing work--<em>Margarita: A Memory, The Dream, Musical Brushstrokes, Princess Springtime</em>, and <em>The Hormone Pill</em>. Following a cast of dreamlike characters including cyber nuns, a young princess making ends meet as a hack translator, a newspaper vendor, and General Winter and his sadistic sidekick, the Little Christmas Tree, <em><strong>Five</strong></em> shows the many facets of Aira's master mind as he turns expectations inside-out and gleefully explodes genre conventions.</p><p> <em> <strong>Five</strong> </em> is a must-have for Aira's legion of devoted fans around the world and a fine introduction to the as-yet uninitiated. A satisfyingly hefty installment from this "exquisite miniaturist" (<em>WSJ</em>) and writer whose "cubist eye sees from every angle" (<em>NYT</em>); because "once you start reading Aira, you don't want tostop" (Roberto Bolaño).</p>
