Una novela de César Aira inédita en España.
Es el último día del año en un edificio en construcción en Buenos Aires. El edificio contiene seis viviendas de lujo, una por piso, y una alberca en el techo. Los departamentos hubieran debido entregarse ese 31 de diciembre, pero no están terminados. En la mañana los futuros propietarios visitan el lugar, suben y bajan por el edificio acompañados por el arquitecto y los decoradores, mientras los albañiles trabajan.
Alrededor de todos ellos flotan desnudos los fantasmas. Son extrañas y muy naturales presencias en la hueca estructura deshabitada e inacabada. Aquí todo ocurre como si nada ocurriera, como si tuviéramos en las manos un lento relato, esmerado en las descripciones físicas del escenario y de los juegos de la luz dentro de su estructura, extrañamente abstracto en su minuciosidad, y extrañamente tensado por el fantástico vuelo de los fantasmas.
Pero esto es apenas el principio. El genio narrativo de César
Aira nos lleva a otra historia y las páginas que comienzan con los futuros habitantes terminan en la cena de año nuevo de los veladores... Como en otros libros de Aira, solo al terminar de leer Los fantasmas caerá todo en su sitio y se acrecentarán los significados retrospectivamente, de la manera absolutamente única y propia de este escritor fascinante.
César Aira nació en Coronel Pringles, Argentina, en 1949. Desde 1967 vive en Buenos Aires dedicado a la traducción y a la escritura. Su obra ha sido publicada profusamente en Hispanoamérica, ampliamente galardonada con premios como el Roger Caillois (2014) y el Formentor (2021), entre otros, y traducida a más de veinte idiomas. Con El santo, Random House inauguró la Biblioteca con su nombre, donde se recuperan algunos de sus mejores títulos: Ema, la cautiva, Cómo me hice monja, La mendiga, Cumpleaños, El mago, Canto castrato, Las noches de Flores, Un episodio en la vida del pintor viajero, Parménides, Las curas milagrosas del Doctor Aira, Las aventuras de Barbaverde, El error, El congreso de literatura, Los fantasmas, El cerebro musical, Sobre el arte contemporáneo / En La Habana, Evasión y otros ensayos, Prins, Fulgentius, Diez novelas de César Aira, La ola que lee y El jardinero, el escultor y el fugitivo.
