'It is certain that The Divorce will leave you breathless.' Patti Smith

A divorce leads a man to Buenos Aires. In a trendy cafe he witnesses a minor accident involving Enrique, the owner of his guest house; this accident reunites Enrique with a childhood friend, with whom he had miraculously escaped from a raging fire in a miniature replica of a boarding school. So starts a true master-yarn from Booker finalist Aira.

About the Publisher

And Other Stories

We publish writing that is mind-blowing, often "challenging" (Maureen Freely) and "shamelessly literary" (Stuart Evers) - opening a space for exploration and discovery. It's up for debate. We publish world-class writing, not "world writing". So far we have concentrated on translations because there are so many amazing writers currently not available to readers in English.
