AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A centuries-old diary describes a world where people live in a giant supermarket. A woman fights a bull and turns into a tree. There is a government organization that translates texts from the future. An elephant turns into a man and starts a religious movement. These and other disparate stories collide across time and space, forming a puzzle that must be solved to save humanity.' (Publication summary)

Works about this Work

The Hypermarket by Gabriel García Ochoa Cassandra Atherton , 2020 single work review
— Appears in: Australian Book Review , April no. 420 2020;

— Review of The Hypermarket Gabriel Garcia Ochoa , 2019 single work novel

'The Hypermarket, an enigmatic and deeply uncanny novel, explores ‘mistranslation’ against the backdrop of Nietzsche’s philosophy of Eternal Return. Gabriel García Ochoa’s début novel transforms the Houghton Library at Harvard University into a Borgesian space. As the narrator is undertaking his research, he comes across an excerpt from a letter copied into an old diary. It details the lives of people living in a supernatural Hypermarket, ‘where the linoleum floor gives way to moss and a young, tender turf’. In a highly significant moment, the narrator rips out the pages and stores them in volume six of The Arabian Nights.' (Introduction)
