SUMMARY:risc book club: the lime tree
DESCRIPTION:By César Aira – In the town square of Coronel Pringles stands a lime tree from which the author’s father used to brew a sedative tea. This Proustian infusion evokes dark memories of the 1955 anti-Perónist revolution\, which dashed the family’s middle-class dreams. The Lime Tree is a portrait of the artist as a child and a lucid analysis of a family’s social trajectory. 256pp

SUMMARY:risc book club: stories from the romani world

There’s an old violinist\, a middle-aged mechanic\, a young radio presenter\, a schoolboy\, a retired banker\, a tealady and a teacher. Sometimes humorous\, sometimes tragic; every story is based on real incidents.

SUMMARY:risc book club: the sound of things falling
DESCRIPTION:By Juan Gabriel Vásquez – No sooner does he get to know Ricardo Laverde in a seedy billiard hall in Bogotá than Antonio Yammara realises that the ex-pilot has a secret. Antonio’s fascination with his new friend’s life grows until the day Ricardo receives a mysterious\, unmarked cassette. Shortly afterwards\, he is shot dead on a street corner. Yammara’s investigation into what happened leads back to the early 1960s\, marijuana smuggling and a time before the cocaine trade trapped Colombia in a living nightmare.
