In Korea, a little Buddhist monk (really very dwarf-sized) dreams of the Western world and secretly reads up on Western culture. When he meets the holidaying French couple Napoleon Chirac and Jacqueline Bloodymary he offers his services as their guide, in the hope they will take him, a penniless monk, to Europe. He whisks them off on a tour of the temples. Among the many twists and turns, our stunned tourists encounter a suicidal horse and discover that a person can also be a robot. Though our monk appears to them as the very spirit of tourism, nothing is natural in this tour de force of Aira's twisted imagination.

Cesar Aira is the author of around 80 books of his own. His writing is considered to be among the most important and influential in Latin America today, and is marked by extreme eccentricity and innovation, as well as a playful spirit. He is without a doubt the true heir to Jorge Luis Borges' literature of ideas.
