      Dazzling, hallucinatory stories by Sara Gallardo, a rediscovered Argentinian contemporary of Garcia Marquez
      "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.
