The Scent of Buenos Aires offers the first book-length English
translation of Uhart's work, drawing together her best vignettes of
quotidian life: moments at the zoo, the hair salon, or a
cacophonous homeowners association meeting. She writes in
unconventional, understated syntax, constructing a delightfully
specific perspective on life in South America. These stories are
marked by sharp humour and wit: discreet and subtle, yet filled
with eccentric and insightful characters. Uhart's narrators pose
endearing questions about their lives and environments - one asks
'Bees - do you know how industrious they are?' while another
inquires, 'Are we perhaps going to hell in a hand basket?'
