Trafalgar

Science fiction meets magical realism in this witty and wildly imaginative work from one of Argentina's best-loved writers

Part pulp adventure, part otherworldly meditation, this is the story of Trafalgar Medrano- intergalactic trader and lover of bitter coffee and black cigarettes. In the bars and cafes of Rosario, Argentina, he recounts tall tales of his space escapades - involving, among other things, time travel and dancing troglodytes.

Cosmopolitan, philosophical and, above all else, pure fun, Angelica Gorodischer's Trafalgar is a unique blend of science fiction, magical realism and shaggy-dog tale from one of Argentina's most distinctive writers.
