A bizarre chronicle of one day in the life of Finnish statistician Optimus Oloopa, who by fate finds himself in Buenos Aires. The adventures begin one morning with a minor traffic accident that changes the usual routine of his clearly planned life.
Until now, Optimus' entire existence had been subject to a strict schedule, and even meal times, trips to the brothel, and meetings with friends were strictly regulated. But then everything went wrong, especially on the day of the main character's engagement.
A masterpiece of Argentine literature, comparable to Joyce's Ulysses and a source of inspiration for authors such as Julio Cortazar and Alfonso Reyes.
The book " Op Oloop " by Juan Filloy is a real intellectual adventure, a challenge for the erudite, a test of knowledge and at the same time a deep immersion into the atmosphere of Argentina in the 30s of the last century. A maddening whirlpool of events and conversations, an unusual story of a man of iron will, dying from the most ordinary love.
