LAND OF SMOKE - SARA GALLARDO TASCHENBUCH

Land of Smoke is one of my favourite books by one of my favourite Argentinian authors. -
Samanta Schweblin  author of Seven Empty Houses Dazzling  hallucinatory short stories by a
rediscovered Argentinian contemporary of García Márquez  whose groundbreaking novel January is
being published in English for the first time Resplendent with otherworldly imagery and
beguiling prose  Land of Smoke presents a uniquely compelling voice in Latin American
literature. 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. Dazzling and hallucinatory  the stories
collected here recall the masters of magical realism ­- but with Gallardo's distinctive 
idiosyncratic slant.
