The Divorce by César Aira

4.0

4.5 stars. Aira's The Divorce fits a lot of different stories into its 98 pages, and some, like the College Fire thread, are some of the most psychotropic, magnificent writing that Aira has put to paper. Some of the other ones are just pretty great. This does feel a bit odd in the translated Aira oeuvre thus far, in that it doesn't fit into what I see are his three main categories of narrative (speculative, historical, and metafictional) although I could see it slotting a bit more into the final category on further inspection.
