Description
“Six Problems for Don Isidro Parodi” by Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares is a collection of short stories originally published under the pseudonym Bustos Domecq. First released in 1942, this literary “prank” is one of the celebrated achievements of Argentine literature, playfully mocking the conventions of the detective genre.
The book is a fully realized collaboration between two masterful writers, giving them a fresh voice and style. The characters find themselves in the legendary cell number 273, where they present a puzzling case that astonishes them all, only to be amazed by the solution. The author simplifies the remote reality and heaps all the twists of the case onto Parodi’s head.
