Approaching his fiftieth birthday, the narrator in My Two Worlds is
wandering in an unfamiliar Brazilian city, in search of a park. A
walker by inclination and habit, he has decided to explore the city
after attending a literary conferencehe 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.
Reminiscent of the writings of Robert Walser and W. G. Sebald,
Chejfecs My Two Worlds is at once descriptively inventive and
preternaturally familiar, a novel that challenges the limitations
of the genre.
