Download Wacky as Robert Walser―and equally doomed to an institutionalized life― the teenaged Martín Adán in the late 1920’s peered, with a kaleidoscope for a telescope, from the promenade of a Peruvian seaside resort. Casa de Cartón is one of the most delightful books in Latin American literature and The Cardboard House one of its most exuberant translations.
