TCA is back in full gear! On this Aside, we introduce one of our favorite recent reads, Adolfo Bioy Casares' "The Invention of Morel." Listen for a discussion on Argentine literary history and its relationship to politics & identity; Casares' relationship with Jorge Luis Borges, and the role of the fantastic in his work. Finally, we preview the topics that will be covered in our full-length episode. Don't forget to check out: - our instagram @thecasualacademic for upcoming episodes, our favorite books, and glimpses into our libraries. - our website www.thecasualacademic.com for a reminder of what we're reading next, and bibliographies for all of our episodes. Don't be shy! Write us @casualacademic on twitter or [email protected] for recommendations, opinions, and discussions on all things literature. And finally, we've created a group on Goodreads titled "The Casual Academic Podcast," where we are jonesing to talk with you about "The Invention of Morel," or any book we've read or you think we should read. Enjoy and thank you! Jake & Alex
