The Scent of Buenos Aires: Stories by Hebe Uhart | 
pickAnother wonderful read for #WITMonth thanks to #netgalley. The Scent of Buenos Aires is blurbed as "the first book-length English translation of Uhart's work" & I'm glad to have discovered a female Argentinian voice. This is a rather massive book with 25 short stories. As story anthologies go, some stories are better than others but I love Uhart's offbeat, irreverent sensibility. My fave stories feature idiosyncratic, oddball narrators. A treat.
Cathythoughts Interesting!!! Lovely cover too 5y

batsy @Billypar Thank you! I think this is the kind of collection that would benefit from slow reading, the kind you dip in and out of. 5y
