Macedonio''s masterpiece.
An anti-novel.'' It opens with more than fifty prologues-including ones addressed ''To My Authorial Persona,'' ''To the Critics,'' and ''To Readers Who Will Perish If They Don''t Know What the Novel Is About''-that are by turns philosophical, outrageous, ponderous, and cryptic.

The novel itself, is about a group of characters (some borrowed from other texts) who live on an estancia called ''la novella''''
