pickthis novel follows china iron, the spouse of the famous gaucho martín fierro, and her journey with her companions liz and rosa through the pampas of argentina. there are discussions of colonialism/imperialism, sexuality, and gender. and i live for found families in books, so i enjoyed this.
this is the first book i‘ve read published in south america! if anyone has some more recs for south american authors, please share! #translatedfiction #lgbt
picki would have liked to have gotten to know the characters a little more intimately, but overall i enjoyed the gorgeous prose and the examination of loss. this is my first han kang novel, so i‘m looking forward to reading more of her works.

#bookhaul I received these this week and I'm very excited! The top four are from my local indie and are all translated works. I'm particularly looking forward to the tagged book because I've read another of Bae Suah's books and absolutely loved it! The bottom book is the Lambda Fellows Anthology just in time for #pride
