Iosi Havilio: Open Door at Kings Place

An acclaimed new literary voice from Argentina, Iosi Havilio discusses his first novel Open Door, an atmospheric tale of solitude that has been likened to Albert Camus’s L’Etranger. When her partner disappears, a young veterinary assistant drifts from the city towards Open Door, a small town in the Argentinean Pampas named after its psychiatric hospital. Embarking on a new life in the country, she finds herself living with an ageing ranch-hand and courted by an official investigating her partner's disappearance.
