pick#readingthamericas2023 #argentina Turning the masculine gaucho stereotype on its head, this love song to the pampas tells of Martín Fierro‘s wife and her traveling companions. The myth of Empire as progress clashes with our characters traveling back to a better time within a traditional Indigenous culture. Gender roles are fluid, mushrooms abound, and sexual encounters are described with modern detail. Booker International short list
