Dazzling, hallucinatory stories by Sara Gallardo, a rediscovered
Argentinian contemporary of GarcÃa Márquez 'One of my favourite
books by one of my favourite Argentinian authors' Samanta
Schweblin, author of Little Eyes Dazzling and hallucinatory, the
stories collected here recall the masters of magical realism Â-
but with Gallardo's distinctive, idiosyncratic slant. 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. Resplendent with
otherworldly imagery and beguiling prose, Land of Smoke presents a
uniquely compelling voice in Latin American literature.
