In 'El lado de la sombra', Adolfo Bioy Casares returns to recurring themes in his work, opening a satirical facet. The stories 'El lado de la sombra' and 'Los afanes' revisit 'La invención de Morel' from contrasting perspectives. The first raises questions about originality and the possibility of reappearance after death. The second presents the invention of Eladio Heller as a precarious eternity. Other stories, such as 'El calamar opta por su tinta' and 'Cavar un foso', explore satire of village life and science fiction, as well as realistic chronicles of murders.
Adolfo Bioy Casares was an Argentine fiction writer, journalist, diarist, and translator. He was a friend and frequent collaborator of his fellow countryman Jorge Luis Borges. He is the author of the Fantastique novel The Invention of Morel.
