Cesar Aira 
The Divorce 

A divorce leads a man to Buenos Aires. In a trendy cafe he witnesses a minor accident involving Enrique; the owner of his guest house; this accident reunites Enrique with a childhood friend; with whom he had miraculously escaped from a raging fire in a miniature replica of a boarding school. So starts a true master-yarn from Booker finalist Aira.
