His life runs according to a methodical and rigid schedule, with everything--from his meals down to his regular 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 Argentinean literature, raising comparisons to Ulysses and serving as a primary inspiration to authors such as Julio Cort'zar and Alfonso Reyes, "Op Oloopis" the first novel by lawyer, Hellenist, boxing referee, and decagenarian Juan Filloy (1894-2000) to be translated into English.

Ariel Magnus reúne y amalgama en este libro la vida y la obra de Juan Filloy: su pasión por los deportes, su ferviente anticatolicismo, su participación en la reforma universitaria de 1918, su cosmopolitismo y, a su vez, su localismo riocuartense, las penurias económicas de la infancia, sus amores, su expulsión de la justicia por parte del gobierno de Perón, su antimilitarismo, y un largo etcétera son causa y efecto de su pluma. La persona y el personaje Filloy, así como su universo literario, son acercados, en este valioso documento, a un lector que sin dudas disfrutará del recorrido propuesto por Magnus.
