Oloixarac’s debut, Savage Theories, arrived in Argentina in 2008 to immediate controversy and attention. The novel plays with academic pretension, political violence, and Argentine history in a way that is deliberately destabilizing, and it set the tone for everything that followed.

Dark Constellations and Mona continue in a similar spirit. Oloixarac is interested in the absurdity of intellectual life and the way ideas get used as cover for other kinds of ambition. Her books are not easy reads in the conventional sense, but they’re funny in ways that catch you off guard.
