    About this ebook

    Marcia is sixteen, overweight and unhappy. One day, as she’s walking down a Buenos Aires street, she hears a shout: ‘Wannafuck?’ Startled, she turns round and is confronted by two punk girls Lenin and Mao. Soon, she’s beguiled by them and the possibilities they open up. But the two have little time for a philosophical discussion of love: they need proof, and with their own savage logic the duo, calling themselves the Commando of Love, hold up a supermarket as the novel climaxes in an unforgettable splatter-fest finale.

    César Aira

    César Aira is a translator as well as the author of around eighty books of his own – so far. He declared that he might have become a painter if it weren’t 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.
