In this hilarious spoof on academic conferences, Luis Fernando Verissimo tells the story of Vogelstein, a bibliophile who attends a conference in Buenos Aires on Edgar Allen Poe. Mixing the Elizabethan John Dee's 'Eternal Orang-Utan' with Kabbala, the author introduces murder into Vogelstein's humdrum life.
