The prolific and prodigiously talented Aira (
The Hare) can make much with a little, as exemplified by this slim and effortlessly entertaining book. When two friends discuss a movie they had seen on TV, the narrator laughs about the gold Rolex watch inadvertently revealed on the wrist of the actor playing a lowly goatherd. The puzzled reaction of his friend, who missed the scene, sets off a spiraling conversation about art, politics, killer algae, Hollywood stars, and Immanuel Kant. It's witty, but it also shows how everything connects.
