En los seis relatos que componen LA TRAMA CELESTE -escritos entre 1944 y 1948- la inagotable fantasía de Adolfo Bioy Casares teje en torno a los juegos de apariencia y realidad, espaciales y temporales, audaces variaciones de sorprendente originalidad. Si «En memoria de Paulina» tiene por argumento la encarnación de una fantasía convertida en destructora obsesión, «De los reyes futuros» toma como motivo las imprevisibles consecuencias de los experimentos de un naturalista. La posibilidad de la existencia de varios mundos paralelos, una ancestral leyenda celta y un intento de vencer al tiempo enmarcado en una investigación casi policial dan origen a «El ídolo», «La trama celeste» y «El perjurio de la nieve», mientras que «El otro laberinto» revela el amor de Bioy «por esa delicada Cenicienta, la belleza menos fácil, la simple».

Adolfo Bioy Casares
Author · 39 books
Adolfo Vicente Perfecto Bioy Casares (1914-1999) was born in Buenos Aires, the child of wealthy parents. He began to write in the early Thirties, and his stories appeared in the influential magazine Sur, through which he met his wife, the painter and writer Silvina Ocampo, as well Jorge Luis Borges, who was to become his mentor, friend, and collaborator. In 1940, after writing several novice works, Bioy published the novella The Invention of Morel, the first of his books to satisfy him, and the first in which he hit his characteristic note of uncanny and unexpectedly harrowing humor. Later publications include stories and novels, among them A Plan for Escape, A Dream of Heroes, and Asleep in the Sun. Bioy also collaborated with Borges on an Anthology of Fantastic Literature and a series of satirical sketches written under the pseudonym of H. Bustos Domecq.
