There's a fair number of books on Argentina available in English, ranging from specialist academic publications to travelogues. Most major bookstores will have an historical work or two while secondhand bookstores are often a goldmine for finding quirky and obscure works by travellers in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The recent upsurge of interest in things Argentinian - thanks in part to the current tango craze and Alan Parker's movie Evita - has seen a concurrent small burst of new English translations and reissues of many of Argentina's classic novels. If your previous experience of Latin American fiction has been the classic "magic realism" of García Márquez or the works of Isabel Allende, then you'll find many surprises in Argentinian literature - from the dark urban narrative of Roberto Arlt, through Manuel Puig's idiosyncratic appropriation of the popular culture of soap operas and film, to the erudite yet absorbing works of the unique Jorge Luis Borges. The books we list have details of the UK publisher followed by those of the US publisher, where different. The term o/p denotes that a book is currently out of print, but is still generally available through secondhand bookstores
