This month sees the publication of a new Aurora Venturini novel, and I'm hoping a widespread bloom of this Argentinian novelist's work sweeps through English-language bookshops.

Translator Kit Maude has succeeded again in delivering a darkly brilliant, compellingly wry voice—which is essential, as each novel is a wondrous exploration of the narrator's mind.
