Sleeping in the Sun

Sleeping in the Sun Book Description Adolfo Bioy Casares, one of the most famous writers of Spanish literature, opens a path from the difficulties of daily life to the fantastic with the story of a former bank employee named Lucio Bordenave, in Sleeping in the Sun. Lucio Bordenave lost his job and then started to make a living as a watch repairman. Then he is faced with strange events that turn his life upside down: His wife Diana, to whom he is devoted, becomes increasingly unstable and begins to spend her nights on the streets. A friend of his, who is a dog trainer, persuades Lucio to commit Diana to a mental hospital and get a dog named Diana. Then one day, Diana leaves the mental hospital, but it's like she's a different person now... Can souls and bodies change places and mix with each other? “If books were houses, I would like to live in Sleeping in the Sun,” says Adolfo Bioy Casares. It offers the reader a house from which he will not want to leave. (From the Promotional Bulletin)
