I just bought this short novel by the youngish Spanish-Argentinean writer whose star in the English speaking world is in ascendency. By rough count he has published five novels, six collections of poetry, and four collections of short stories—all in Spanish. TALKING TO OURSELVES has recently been released in English; his only other book in English is TRAVELER OF THE CENTURY. TTO was highly praised in the NYT Book Review, and he was "discovered" by Roberto Bolaño, himself a wunderkind (who died much too early). It looks like a great read, if only I could find the time.
