About This Book

"An ambiguous tale that verges on dark comedy. . . . With skill and subtlety, the novel hints that a whole society might labor under an illusion of liberty."--"The Economist"

When her partner disappears, a young woman drifts towards Open Door, a small town in the Argentinean Pampas named after its psychiatric hospital. She finds herself living with an aging ranch-hand, although a local girl also proves irresistible . . .

Iosi Havilio bursts onto the Argentine literary scene after "Open Door" was highly praised by some of the country's most influential critics and writer, including Beatriz Sarlo and Rodolfo Fogwill.
