Caught between the Lines
Caught between the Lines examines how the figure of the captive and the notion of borders have been used in Argentine literature and painting to reflect competing notions of national identity from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Challenging the conventional approach to the nineteenth-century trope of “civilization versus barbary,” which was intended to criticize the social and ethnic divisions within Argentina in order to create a homogenous society, Carlos Riobó traces the various versions of colonial captivity legends. He argues convincingly that the historical conditions of the colonial period created an ethnic hybridity—a mestizo or culturally mixed identity—that w...

The Museum of Eterna's Novel
An anti-novel.' It opens with more than fifty prologues-including ones addressed 'To My Authorial Persona,' 'To the Critics,' and 'To Readers Who Will Perish If They Don't Know What the Novel Is About'-that are by turns philosophical, outrageous, ponderous, and cryptic.

Guillermo Saccomanno cuenta la historia en común con amigos queridos que han muerto, y sin embargo la conversación sigue.

Gesell Dome
Like True Detective through the lenses of William Faulkner, Gesell Dome is a mosaic of misery, a page-turner that will keep you enthralled right until its shocking end. Opening with reports of a child abuse scandal at an elementary school, then weaving its way through dozens of sordid storylines and characters - including various murders, corrupt politicians and real-estate moguls, and the Nazi past of the city - Gesell Dome chronicles the dark underbelly of a popular resort town tensely awaiting the return of the tourist season.
Needle in a Haystack
