Magic Love
About This Novel
"The days are pouring down on you, and the emptiness is covered with a disgusting devil's skin." "Argentinian Dostoyevsky", pioneer of "bad literary realism", and the final novel of Robert Alter, author of "Seven Mad Men". A bizarre love story, a deep and stubborn whisper of love. "Magical Love" is a novel based on Argentine society in the early 20th century. It tells a stubborn but low-pitched whisper of love, full of dramatic tension. Baldel, a married engineer, met Elaine, a sixteen-year-old piano student, at the train station. He felt that he fell into blind love, but did not take any action. Many years later, due to a chance, the two finally fell in love, but what awaited them was a more difficult problem... Compared with Alter's other novels, "Magic Love" is more personal and has a strong modernist color in form. It is a work with a very "Alter flavor". Alt presents the entire story in three levels: one is the objective facts seen by the audience, the other is the subjective feelings of the protagonist, and the third is the narrator's interpretation of the entire story. Which story is closest to the truth? Or maybe there is no truth in the world.
