Annotation:
Argentine poet and absurdist Edgar Bayley displays his tendency toward cheerful nonsense in THE LIFE AND MEMOIRS OF DOCTOR PI. The title character is an intrepid amateur inspector whose arbitrary investigations fill most of the 35 tiny stories. Pi climbs mountains, chases mysteries, and turns up dozens of loose ends and plenty of surprises. Bayley's narrative contraptions make use of a South American tradition of elastic logic, language paradoxes, and all-purpose literary gamesmanship.
