From internationally bestselling Argentine author Pedro Mairal and
Man Booker International-winning translator Jennifer Croft, the
unforgettable story of two would-be lovers over the course of a
single day. 'A searing tale of seduction and betrayal, both wryly
comic and deeply serious' Sigrid Nunez, National Book Award-winning
author of The Friend Lucas Pereyra, an unemployed writer in his
forties, embarks on a day trip from Buenos Aires to Montevideo to
pick up fifteen thousand dollars in cash. An advance due to him on
his upcoming novel, the small fortune might mean the solution to
his problems, most importantly the unbearable tension he has with
his wife. While she spends her days at work and her nights out on
the town-with a lover, perhaps, he doesn't know for sure- Lucas is
stuck at home all day staring at the blank page, caring for his son
Maiko and fantasizing about the one thing that keeps him going: the
Uruguayan woman he met at a conference several months back and who
he is longing to see on his day trip to Montevideo. The surprising,
moving story of this incredibly impactful day in Lucas' life, The
Woman from Uruguay is both a gripping narrative and tender,
thought-provoking exploration of the nature of relationships. An
international bestseller published in twelve countries, it is the
masterpiece of one of Latin America's most beloved writers. 'At
once a picaresque comedy and a penetrating study of a man on the
verge of middle age' Colm Toibin
