Description

César Aira's autobiographical novel "Cómo me hice monja" is a unique and fascinating exploration of his early life. Spanning just one year, from trying ice cream for the first time to being murdered by the widow of an ice cream vendor, this book offers a glimpse into the author's formative experiences. The narrative jumps between different episodes, including encounters with two punk girls who meet a virgin and their subsequent fantasies. Aira's writing style is characterized by its blend of reality and imagination, often blurring the lines between the two. This collection of three short novels showcases Aira's distinctive voice and literary approach, which has garnered praise from critics such as Patricio Pron.
