Maria Sonia Cristoff was born and raised in Patagonia. She returns to tour the area, visiting mostly decaying towns along the way. She tells their stories not by describing the towns, but largely through individual stories. It‘s an interesting, unusual little book and I mostly enjoyed it, though the final piece doesn‘t hang together well.
