    About this ebook

    In these twenty-five stories from Spanish-speaking South America—from La Guajira in northern Colombia to the southernmost tip of the continent at Ushuaia, Argentina—Jesse Myner has written of landscapes and people far off the Gringo Trail. In taut, clean, authoritative prose, learn of the state of Argentina from a Patagonian sheep farmer and his mysterious pet guanaco; the beauty, love, and jealousy of Colombian women; the poetry and sadness of El Poeta Negro of Ecuador; cocaine, aguardiente, a loaded .38 and a cartel assassin at the Feria de Cali; an Argentine horse trader and Butch Cassidy; Indians, bed bugs, prostitutes and death in Peru; and a Russian mystic at the end of the world. These are stories of South American life—of its violence and beauty—that appear in no tourist guidebook.
