César Aira is a translator as well as the author of around 80 books of his own - so far. He declared that he might have become a painter if it werent so difficult (the paint, the brushes, having to clean it all). He was born in Coronel Pringles, Argentina, and moved to Buenos Aires in 1967 at the age of eighteen and was, by his own admission, a young militant leftist, with the notion of writing big realist novels. By 1972, after a brief spell in prison following a student demonstration, he was writing anything but.Chris Andrews was born in Newcastle, Australia, in 1962. He teaches at Western Sydney University, and has translated books by Roberto Bolaño and César Aira, as well as publishing critical studies and poetry.
