Casares, Adolfo Bioy.

The Adventures of a Photographer in la Plata.

New York: E.P. Dutton, (1989). (1989). FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, FROM THE LIBRARY OF HOLLYWOOD ACTOR ANTHONY QUINN - Octavo, 8 inches high by 5-1/2 inches wide.

From the library of Hollywood movie star Anthony Quinn, with his bookplate illustrated with his profile mounted on the front endpaper. "Adoifo Bioy Casares's latest novel is a small masterpiece, a tersely plotted mystery that blends the metaphysical and the mundane. The small-town photographer Almanza's week of adventures in the provincial capital of La Plata takes him many places: to the city's museums, monuments, and a set of stained-glass windows that will haunt him; to bed, separately, with two lovely sisters named Griselda and Julia; to cafes with his friend Mascardi, the cop who may be snitching on his friends who are political activists; and into the arms and machinations of Don Juan Lombardo, father of the sisters and a man greedy for Almanza's blood." [Quoted from the dust wrapper blurb]. Very good .
