Enigmatic fictions from a lost master of Argentine literature.
A thick fog rolls into Milan as a man watches in astonishment while a procession of elephants crosses the street. A couple wandering through a forest is pointed toward a mysterious city from which they may never return. Two prisoners share a cell in the aftermath of a battle―one finds freedom in writing stories while the other is driven mad with envy.
The Slow Elephants of Milan expands Ángel Bonomini’s exploration of the interstitial realms between dream and reality. Originally published in 1978, these surreal and enigmatic fictions are among Bonomini’s finest and most autobiographical, threaded together by an insatiable curiosity about time, memory, art, and the divine.
With delicate precision, The Slow Elephants of Milan deconstructs the scaffolding of our perceptions to reveal what lies beneath: a metaphysical mirror-world that shimmers with haunting familiarity.

Ángel Bonomini (1929-1994) is one of the great previously untranslated writers of Argentine fiction, a contemporary of Jorge Luis Borges, Adolfo Bioy Casares, Silvina Ocampo, and Julio Cortázar. His debut collection, The Novices of Lerna, was originally published in 1972, but Bonomini’s meditations on identity, surveillance, and isolation remain eerily prescient. In his lifetime, Bonomini was a two-time recipient of the prestigious Premio Konex.
Jordan Landsman was born in New York City. After graduating from Binghamton University, he spent several years living in Buenos Aires, where he cocreated the BA Comedy Lab and taught literary workshops at Walrus Books. Ángel Bonomini's The Novices of Lerna was his first translation.
