OT: The Invention of Morel

Has anyone here read this book? I'm not going to discuss the plot here, as I don't want this thread to be immediately spoilery, but I think there's a lot in the book to appeal to Wolfe fans. It's very short, but also quite satisfying. The author, Adolfo Bioy Casares, was a great friend and collaborator of Borges, who wrote an introduction to the book. -Matt

Yes. I think I was responsible for having it placed on Lost. http://jgoodwin.net/?p=488 In all seriousness, however, it's a fine book, worth talking about it reference to Wolfe's interest in virtualization in the nin stories and perhaps also the islands.
