One afternoon he encounters a series of the most magical coincidences. While sitting at an outdoor cafeÌ, absorbed in conversation with a talented video artist, he sees a young man riding by on a bicycle get thoroughly drenched by a downpour of water-seemingly from rain caught the night before in the overhead awning. The video artist knows the cyclist, who knew a mad hermetic sculptor whose family used to take the Hindu God Krishna for walks in the neighborhood. As the coincidences continue to add up, the stories concerning each new connection weave reality with the absurd until they reach a final, brilliant, cataclysmic ending"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Divorced men $z Buenos Aires $z Buenos Aires $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Vacations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Coincidence $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Andrews, Chris, $d 1962- $e translator. 700 1 $a Smith, Patti, $e writer of introduction. 830 0 $a New Directions paperbook ; $v 1501. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025811.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210804012906.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC97F898DEE811EBB94CC8CD21ECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
