The Witness
Set in 16th-century Spain and the New World, this tale traces the harrowing experiences of a young cabin boy, who becomes the sole survivor of a crew murdered by cannibals. Juan Jose Saer is a leading Argentinian writer and recipient of the 1988 Nadal Prize for Spanish literature.
The One Before
The One Before is a collection of three interlinking stories from one of Argentina's greatest writers: a series of short pieces called Arguments and two longer stories - Half-Erased and The One Before, all of which revolve around the ideas of exile and memory. Many of the characters who populate Saer's other novels appear here, including Tomatis, Angel Leto, and Washington Noriega. Saer's typical themes are on display in this collection as well, as is his idiosyncratic blend of philosophical ruminations and precise storytelling.
Littoral of the Letter
Littoral of the Letter is the first full-fledged study in English of the work of the late Argentine author Juan Jose Saer (1937-2005), who was highly regarded as Argentina's best living novelist, a continuator of Burgess' literary legacy. Characterized by an uncommon coherence and rigor, Juan Jose Saer's writing defies simple categories. In both his fictional and essayistic writing, Saer defamiliarizes the reader by questioning some of his most cherished certainties, especially those having to do with the role ascribed to Latin American literature, the uses of prose and poetry in the present, and the relation between language and the mass media. By questioning the assimilation of prose theory and the novel theory dictated by pragmatic needs of the state and the market, Saer produces a change in the function of narrative language that allows him to start where more traditional forms of realism end: the unsayable. The purpose of the book is to make explicit Saer's procedures, the main coordinates of his poetics and to reflect on the situation of literature in an age dominated by images and the total cultural phenomenon. University.
The Investigation

Regal Lemon Tree
A haunting novel of grief from one of Argentina's greatest modernist writers.
Writing Travel
Writing Travel investigates the ways in which Roberto Bolaño and Juan José Saer engage with travel and space in their work. It enquires into the politics of representation and the cultural and ideological implications at stake in «writing travel» and focusses on the thematic and formal representation of travel and space in their literature.
La Grande
Moving between past and present, La Grande centers around two related stories: that of Gutirrez, his sudden departure from Argentina 30 years before, and his equally mysterious return; and that of precisionism,' a literary movement founded by a rather dangerous fraud. Dozens of characters populate these storylines, including Nula, the wine salesman, ladies' man, and part-time philosopher; Luca, the woman he's lusted after for years; and Tomatis, a journalist whom Saer fans have encountered many times before.'
The Sixty-five Years of Washington
It's October 1960, in a seaside Argentinian city named Santa Fe, and The Mathematician-wealthy, elegant, educated, dressed from head to toe in white-is just back from a grand tour of Europe. He's on his way to drop off a press release about the trip to the papers when he runs into Angel Leto, a relative newcomer to Santa Fe who does some accounting, but who this morning has decided to wander the town rather than go to work. One day soon, The Mathematician will disappear into exile after his wife's assassination, and Leto will vanish into the guerrilla underground.
