Dinner
Dinner | César Aira
4 posts | 5 read | 24 to read
Was it a nightmare—the result of a bad case of indigestion—or did something truly scary happen after dinner in the Argentine town of Coronel Pringles? One Saturday night a bankrupt bachelor in his sixties and his mother dine with a wealthy friend. They discuss their endlessly connected neighbors. They talk about a mysterious pit that opened up one day, and the old bricklayer who sometimes walked to the cemetery to cheer himself up. Anxious to show off his valuable antiques, the host shows his guests old windup toys and takes them to admire an enormous doll. Back at home, the bachelor decides to watch some late night TV before retiring. The news quickly takes a turn for the worse as, horrified, the newscaster finds herself reporting about the dead rising from their graves, leaving the cemetery, and sucking the blood of the living—all somehow, disturbingly reminiscent of the dinner party.

Starting this little novella with a very deceptively beautiful cover. 💀

So sorry for all the posts today 🙈😂 this is for Day 2 of #booktober, #booksetinsamerica anything with a blurb from my hero, Patti Smith, will get a read from me. This novella sounds like great fun in an Argentinian town.

AbstractMonica This has been on my tbr pile for a very long time. I need to get to it already😔 8y
courtney @AbstractMonica me too! The blurb is an extra push for me. It has a spin on Zombies so I might try to read it after Bird Box this month 8y

Mirra: "Although the book looks really pretty and pink it's about zombies."
