The Conversations
Cesar Aira
A cerebral and wildly funny story revolving around the incongruity of a gold Rolex watch spotted on a lowly goatherd?s wrist
Daily conversations in outdoor cafés with cultured friends can help make reality a little more real. Unfortunately, however, during one such conversation, one man spots a gold Rolex watch on a TV soap opera?s goatherd. This seemingly small absurdity sets off alarms: strange sensations of deception, distress, and incipient madness. The two men?s uneasiness soon becomes a nightmare as the TV adventure advances with a real-life plot ? involving a mutant strain of killer algae ? to take over the world! The Conversations, a reality within a fiction within a parallel reality, is hilariously funny and surprisingly touching.
