Why read it?
1 author picked Ghosts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Aira is one of the most interesting novelists alive today, a writer whose wit, energy, and unfailingly restless imagination ensure that his books never follow a straightforward path, and thus always surprise you.

Recommended if you like your ghosts circumambulating and avant-garde.
