Steven Heighton recommends
The Guardian of Amsterdam Street (2021)
Sergio Schmucler
"In Jessie Mendez Sayer’s superb translation, The Guardian of Amsterdam Street introduces English-language readers to an important and deeply humane writer. Though Sergio Schmucler’s short novel elapses within just a few blocks in Mexico City — and then within a few rooms — its scope is large, encompassing history, exile, justice, fate, and love, while featuring seamless cameos by major historical figures. Schmucler’s vision, or revision, of a certain Argentinian revolutionary is especially striking and memorable."
