The Thinking-About-Gladys Machine

Levrero’s writing is distinguished by its bounteous imagination, and nowhere more so than in this 1970 story collection. From the Escher-like grammatical maze of ‘The Boarding House’ to the Lewis Carroll-esque ‘The Basement’, this book explores uncanny domestic spaces, using the structures of the stories themselves as tools for re-inventing narrative possibility.

Scrierea lui Levrero se remarca prin imaginatia sa generoasa si nicaieri mai mult decat in aceasta colectie de povesti din 1970. De la labirintul gramatical asemanator lui Escher din ,,The Boarding House" pana la ,,The Basement" in stil Lewis Carroll, aceasta carte exploreaza spatii domestice neobisnuite, folosind structurile povestilor in sine ca instrumente pentru reinventarea posibilitatii narative.
