An Electronic Collection of Literature in Translation

This collection of short stories is the first in a two-part series highlighting some of Buenos Aires’s greatest talents. Readers will discover Argentinian authors, many of whom are appearing in English here for the very first time: Fernanda García Lao, J.P. Zooey, Majo Moirón, Federico Levín, and Mariano Fiszman.

Fernanda García Lao wryly dissects a lounge singer’s loneliness as she rides out a storm aboard a luxury cruise liner in “Shipwreck.” In “Like an Artificial Sun,” by J.P. Zooey, a Holocaust survivor prone to metaphysical musings offers a curious account of how she escaped from her technology-mad captors. Majo Moirón’s “The Zonda Wind” explores the oppressive quiet of provincial life as a young couple makes a new start in rural Argentina. In “Dream Biography of a Runner,” Federico Levín wrings heart-breaking humor from a pro athlete’s melancholy childhood in Jamaica. And Mariano Fiszman uses bold prose to tell of two travelers dealing with a small town’s menacing mistrust in “A Tourist Couple.”
