Description

Once Upon Argentina tells the story of a young man's journey to understand his family's past and its connection to the country they call home. Through a series of interconnected tales, Andrés Neuman explores the lives of relatives from around the world who have come together in Argentina, where immigrant traditions blend and thrive.

The novel delves into the personal and social stories of twentieth century Argentina, weaving together elements of hardship, triumph, and collective experience to create a rich tapestry of family history. By merging past and present, Neuman experiments with the nature of autobiography, expanding the autofiction genre with a unique voice and perspective.

With extraordinary delicacy and intensity, Once Upon Argentina reveals a world that is both real and fantastical, strange and familiar. This coming-of-age tale, political novel, and love letter to the absent ones offers a nuanced exploration of identity, belonging, and the power of storytelling.
