Three Novels by Cesar Aira

Three novels from one of Argentina's most prolific writers. In 'Ghosts', a group of immigrant workers and their families are squatting on the haunted construction site of a luxury condominium building. One teenage girl's interest in the ghosts on the site becomes so intense that her mother realises her life is in the balance. 'An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter' tells of a point in the life of German painter Johann Moritz Rugendas, when he visits Latin America to paint its spectacular landscapes. And in 'The Literary Conference', a young translator called Csar Aira travels to a literary conference, intent on world domination.
