Lost Finds The Invention of Morel

Continuing the tradition of using a well-placed book to provide clues to the mysteries of the hit show, tomorrow night's episode of Lost features Sawyer reading the New York Review Books Classic edition of The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Cesares, translated by Ruth L.C. Simms ($12.95, 9781590170571/1590170571).

Bioy's friend and mentor Jorge Luis Borges has called the book "a masterpiece of plotting, comparable with The Turn of the Screw and Journey to the Center of the Earth. The publisher noted: "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."
