PEN Recommends: ADAN BUENOSAYRES, by Leopoldo Marechal, published in 1948, never translated into English. An essential Argentine text, this is capacious novel about EVERYTHING has often been compared to Joyce's ULYSSES. Written in the inimitable Spanish of Buenos Aires, it should be a feast for an adventurous translator.
