The novel Diario de la guerra del cerdo (1969 Diary of the War of the Pig) is a mixture of science fiction and political satire. In the novel El sueño de los héroes (1954 The Dream of Heroes), Bioy Casares examines the meaning of love and the significance of dreams and memory to future actions. The novel Plan de evasión (1945 A Plan for Escape) and the six short stories of La trama celeste(1948 “The Celestial Plot”) further explore imaginary worlds, tightly constructed to adhere to a fantastic logic. The novel formed the basis for Alain Robbe-Grillet’s film script for Last Year at Marienbad(1961). A carefully constructed and fantastic work, it concerns a fugitive (the narrator) who has fallen in love and strives to establish contact with a woman who is eventually revealed to be only an image created by a film projector. Bioy Casares published several books before 1940, including collections of short stories (such as Caos and Luis Greve, muerto ), but he did not win wide notice until the publication of his novel La invención de Morel (1940 The Invention of Morel). Together they edited the literary magazine Destiempo (1936).
In 1932 he met Borges, a meeting that resulted in lifelong friendship and literary collaboration. Born into a wealthy family, Bioy Casares was encouraged in his writing, publishing (with the help of his father) his first book in 1929. His elegantly constructed works are oriented toward metaphysical possibilities and employ the fantastic to achieve their meanings.
