A walker by inclination and habit, he has decided to explore the city after attending a literary conference--he was invited following the publication of his most recent novel, although, as he has been informed via anonymous e-mail, the novel is not receiving good reviews. Initially thwarted by his inability to transpose the two-dimensional information of the map onto the impassable roads and dead-ends of the three-dimensional city, once he finds the park the narrator begins to see his own thoughts, reflections, and memories mirrored in the landscape of the park and its inhabitants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChejfec's \u003ci\u003eMy Two Worlds\u003c\/i\u003e, an extraordinary meditation on experience, writing, and space, is at once descriptively inventive and preternaturally familiar, a novel that challenges the limitations of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSergio Chejfec\u003c\/b\u003e, originally from Argentina, has published numerous works of fiction, poetry, and essays.
