Dazzling, hallucinatory short stories by a rediscovered Argentinian contemporary of García Márquez, whose groundbreaking novel January is being published in English for the first time
Resplendent with otherworldly imagery and beguiling prose, Land of Smoke presents a uniquely compelling voice in Latin American literature.
- An old man wakes up one morning to find that his beloved garden, the envy of all his neighbours, is floating away with him on board.
- A young woman moves to Buenos Aires, bringing with her a replacement head.
- A meek German missionary leaves Paraguay for the Pampas, completely unprepared for what he will encounter there.
Dazzling and hallucinatory, the stories collected here recall the masters of magical realism – but with Gallardo’s distinctive, idiosyncratic slant.
