5.0 out of 5 stars A true master - stupendous etc. etc., June 25, 2000

This review is from: A Plan for Escape (Palabra Sur Book) (Paperback)
A Plan for Escape was the first book by Adolfo Bioy-Casares that I read. It was quickly followed by everything I could find by him. Bioy-Casares collaborated with the better known Jorge Luis Borges - and the inventive prose shows that there is an affinity of genius.

This particular tale is a study on prisons - guards and prisoners - and the horrors that grow out of the relationship between the enprisoning and the enprisoned. If you want a straight line plot with everything neatly bundled at the end, this book is not for you. If you are willing to risk contemplating humanities' capacity for evil, you will be enthralled by this master.
