La vuelta al perro
by Cynthia Rimsky
Description
In a small town in Buenos Aires province, surrounded by soy fields, weekend homes that multiply like books, and weeds with healing powers that could feed the whole world, the writer goes out to walk her dog, fed up with how everything around her has productive meaning. Is it possible to write against meaning?
She walks around and finds the men meeting behind a house beneath the biggest false pepper tree in town, telling stories among the scattered junk as if they were in the Pampas version of a literary salon. She watches the hares, takes her motorcycle to buy eggs, chats with her neighbor, and comes up with questions that may bring her closer to glimpsing the sacred.

Reviews
Hernán Ronsino: "We all know Cynthia's work, which has travel as a main theme, a mix between crónica and fiction. [...] La vuelta al perro is, then, following Tesson's idea, the exploration of a possible rootedness. A terrain in the middle of the Pampa, a journey without much movement. Discovering the universe in the details, in the immensity of the anthills camouflaged among the dry leaves. The complexity of the water pumps and the groundwater, that mythological figure that is named and not seen and that we only have references by the occasional arrival of water.”
