Federico Falco

This subtle, elusive and beautiful novel addresses the mourning of a rupture, the loneliness that activates all the senses, the secret wisdom of the illuminating verses of some poets, the need to tell us stories... This is a book about the time that passes and about the plain in which a man who grows an orchard lives and looks and remembers and writes.

Los Llanos

Childhood does not last long in the Argentine mountains of Córdoba, and adult lives fall apart quickly. In disarming, darkly humorous stories, Federico Falco explores themes of obsessive love, romantic attachment and the strategies we must find to cope with death and painful longing.In the middle of a blizzard a widow watches the ruin of her late-husband’s garden, until suddenly she sees a woman running naked in the falling snow. After telling her parents she is abandoning her Christian faith, a girl becomes infatuated with a Mormon missionary who reminds her of a boy killed in her village years before. When his family’s home is lost, a father desperately offers his daughter’s hand in marriage to anyone who will take them in. And a town’s mayor tries to fulfill his father’s dying wish – to design the perfect cemetery.
