The first volume of the Read the World A to Z series takes you to Argentina with an ancestral tale rooted in a long Latin American history of rural displacement by Mariana Travacio, one of Argentina's most celebrated authors. Set in a stark landscape of cliffs and precipices high above the Argentine pampas, Mariana Travacio's All That Dies in April follows the members of one small family as each makes a solitary journey out of their treacherous mountain home in search of a better life.

A former forensic psychologist and psychology professor, she was born in Rosario, grew up in So Paulo, and lives in Buenos Aires. Her stories have appeared in English in Latin American Literature Today and Two Lines Journal. Her work has been translated into over six languages. All That Dies in April was a finalist for the Tigre Juan Award 2022 and is her first book to be published in English.
