A delirious collection of short stories from the Latin American master of microfiction, Cesar Aira the author of at least eighty novels, most of them barely one hundred pages long The Musical Brain comprises twenty tales about oddballs, freaks, and loonies. Aira, with his fuga hacia adelante or "flight forward" into the unknown, gives us imponderables to ponder and bizarre and seemingly out-of-context plot lines, as well as thoughtful and passionate takes on everyday reality. The title story, first published in the New Yorker, is the creme de la creme of this exhilarating collection."Binding Type: Hardcover

Beautiful Superman Story
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
This standalone Superman story was incredible! If you're not sure about the overwhelmingness of Superman books or finding yhe right continuity or run to start in, rest assured that this book is outside of continuity and a beautiful one shot story of the Man of Steel and Lex Luthor.

Mark Waid does it again!
Format: Kindle
There’s just something about the way Waid writes Superman that is truly special. The dynamic between Superman and Lex Luthor and their complicated history is captured brilliantly in these pages.
