Lands of Memory

Lands of Memory presents a half-dozen wonderful works by Felisberto Hernández, a writer like no other, Italo Calvino declared, like no European or Latin American. He is an 'irregular, ' who eludes all classifications and labellings--yet he is unmistakable on any page to which one might randomly open one of his books.

Named a Guardian Best Book of the Year by Alfred Brendel and a TLS Best Book of the Year by Michael Hofmann (who calls Felisberto a loopier, vegetarian Kafka, inhabiting his mazy personal baroque), Lands of Memory collects four astonishing stories and the two dreamlike novellas Around the Time of Clemente Colling and Lands of Memory.
