- Summary
- "Mr. Optimus Oloop is a Finnish statistician living in Buenos Aires. His life runs according to a methodical and rigid schedule, with everything - from his meals down to his visits to the city brothels - timed to the minute. But when an insignificant traffic delay upsets this sacred schedule, and on the day of Oloop's engagement party, the clock begins ticking down towards a catastrophe that no amount of planning will avert." "A playful and unpredictable masterpiece of Argentinian literature, raising comparisons to Ulysses and serving as a primary inspiration to authors such as Julio Cortazar and Alfonso Reyes, Op Oloop is the first novel by lawyer, Hellenist, and boxing referee Juan Filloy to be translated into English."--Jacket.
