Petite Fleur

By Iosi Havilio

"As vertiginous, airtight and intense as a dream." --Yuri Herrera

When Jos 's fireworks factory job ends explosively, his wife Laura must return to work. Recovering from his initial apathy, he makes friends with his jazz-loving neighbor. But as Jos uncovers a gruesome talent, life, death, and resurrection converge. Written as one single, hypnotic paragraph, Petite Fleur harnesses the unpredictability of C sar Aira and the mysticism of Leo Tolstoy in a dissonant riff on suburban life.

Iosi Havilio (b. 1974, Buenos Aires) became a cult author in Argentina after his debut Open Door was praised by influential critics Rodolfo Fogwill and Beatriz Sarlo. Petite Fleur is his fifth novel.
