Andrés Neuman

The stories of his European ancestors and family migrations, his childhood recollections and the kidnapping of his paternal aunt during the military dictatorship can be read in his novel Una vez Argentina.

Through a vote called by the Hay Festival, Neuman was selected among the most outstanding young Latin American authors, being included on the first Bogotá39 list.

[3][4] His fourth novel, the award-winning Traveller of the Century, first to be published in English, was selected among the best books of the year by The Guardian,[5] and Financial Times.

[27] These translations were followed by his "gloriously pungent debut novel",[28] Bariloche,[29] named a best book of the year by Southwest Review,[30] World Literature Today[31] and Publishers Weekly;[32] and the selected poems Love Training, spanning two decades of poetry in a single unified collection, the first volume to make his poems available in English,[33] longlisted for the PEN Award for Poetry in Translation.

[34] Neuman's two most recent titles published in English are the family novel Once Upon Argentina, one of the Notable Translations of the year,[35] "a dazzling kaleidoscopic account of his personal and familial history (...) with a pitch-perfect balance of the light and the serious" which "transcends the personal and reaches the universal";[36] and the praise of noncanonical bodies Sensitive Anatomy, composed of "thirty short meditations (...) not meant to discount either its quality or substance but simply to acknowledge both his prolific output and febrile imagination", delivering a "forceful pushback against prejudices".
