"Piglia is Argentina's most important novelist, a compelling writer and committed intellectual who relentlessly deals with the complicated relationships between politics and fiction. And Sergio Waisman is an exceptionally gifted translator with a wonderful ear and eye for the reverberations of Spanish in English. "The Absent City" is a book for our times, one that transcends national boundaries."--Francine Masiello, author of "Between Civilization and Barbarism: Women, Nation, and Literary Culture in Modern Argentina"
