A whimsical chronicle of one day in the life of the Finnish statistician Optimus Oloop, who by fate finds himself in Buenos Aires. The adventures begin one morning with a minor traffic accident that disrupts the usual routine of his carefully planned life. Until now, all of Optimus's existence had followed a strict schedule, with even meal times, visits to the brothel, and meetings with friends tightly regulated. But now everything goes off plan, and it happens on the day of the protagonist's engagement. A masterpiece of Argentine literature, comparable to Joyce's "Ulysses" and serving as a source of inspiration for authors such as Julio Cortázar and Alfonso Reyes.
