The Excessive Waters of the Río de la Plata

Armando Lindner

An addictively entertaining collection of short stories, written in English and Spanish, by a physician

with a dizzying variety of interests. These wildly inventive, humane stories will enthrall lovers of medical

mysteries, intrigue, and dark humor.

Book description

This eclectic compilation of bilingual stories includes tales of medical detection

with philosophical undertones; the interactions of coffee drinking with

history; memories of a wild taxi ride in Buenos Aires, just to mention a few.

They reflect the restless mind of a physician with complementary

passions such as: friendship, reading, photography, French cuisine, Italian

coffee, traveling, tango dancing, and with a taste for black

humor--Argentine-style. These themes will keep readers obsessively

turning the pages, wondering what will await them next:

Matsumoto-san....: A mysterious scarf suggests historical connections between the early Japanese and

Hebrew cultures.

Swimming with Nazis in Argentina: A Jewish adolescent encounter with Nazi exiles after the

second world war.

Svetlana and the oligarch:

The Moscow ordeal of a contortionist in the Russia of Putin and the oligarchs.

The Taxi Ride from Hell: A wild taxi trip in Buenos Aires brings back memories of the

author's emergency room training.

These compelling stories represent different periods in the author's life. Here is the anxiety of a medical mystery, in the early days of dialysis treatments. Then, the exploits of a naïve journalist, who is also a womanizing tango

dancer, on a trip to India to purchase precious stones for resale in South

America. Here is the literary past of France to be discovered in the oldest historical

café in Paris; the author's development of personality and taste while growing

up in Argentina, and the adventure of his young son on a solo excursion through

the canals of Venice. These stories cover an exciting emotional and narrative

terrain, and will delight readers looking for unusual, transforming fiction.

They will be of equal interest to readers of either Spanish or English who wish

to improve their skills on the different language.
