Apart from technical difficulties in the evaluation of decoding accuracy of dreaming, there are several phenomenological reasons for which dreaming cannot always offer a reliable description of consciousness. These are described in the dream argument and the functional dissociation argument. Jorge Luis Borges declared The Invention of Morel a masterpiece of plotting, comparable to The Turn of The Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Set on a mysterious island, Bioy’s novella is a story of suspense and exploration, as well as a wonderfully unlikely romance, in which every detail is at once crystal clear and deeply mysterious. Inspired by Bioy Casares’s fascination with the movie star Louise Brooks, The Invention of Morel has gone on to live a secret life of its own. Greatly admired by Julio Cortazar, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Octavio Paz, the novella helped to usher in Latin American fiction’s now famous postwar boom. As the model for Alain Resnais and Alain Robbe-Grillet’s Last Year at Marienbad, it also changed the history of film.

Nature 452, 352–355 In Georges Perec's 1969 experimental novel A Void, insomniac Anton Vowl hallucinates an abridged and misremembered version of the plot of La invención de Morel. In the text the book is given the name La Croix du Sud ( The Southern Cross) by Isidro Parodi/Honorio Bustos Domaicq - respectively the protagonist and pseudonymous author of Seis problemas para don Isidro Parodi, a book written by Casares in collaboration with Borges.

Before he finds out the truth about the island, the fugitive cites Cicero's book De Natura Deorum as an explanation of the appearance of two suns in the sky.

One of the visitors, Stoever, presses for more information, and it becomes clear that the visitors will die—their souls will be transferred to the recording. Stoever is upset, but Morel angrily insists that he is offering his guests immortality, and he storms out. Stoever wants to follow him to confront him, but the other visitors convince him that he should trust Morel, who is, after all, a genius. Suárez Coalla, Francisca.

Mexican Nobel Prize winner in Literature Octavio Paz echoed Borges when he said: " The Invention of Morel may be described, without exaggeration, as a perfect novel." Other Latin American writers such as Julio Cortázar, Juan Carlos Onetti, Alejo Carpentier and Gabriel García Márquez [1] have also expressed their admiration for the novel. Llinas R., Ribary U.
