In 1872, José Hernández published an epic poem,/Martín Fierro/, the eponymous story of an outlaw Argentine/gaucho/, or cowboy. The text was canonized over the years, seen as a special window into the nineteenth-century national soul of Argentina. In form and content, Gabriela Cabezón Cámara’s short novel,/Las aventuras de la China Iron/– originally published in 2017, translated into English in 2019, and shortlisted for the International Booker Prize the same year – is a radically subversive encounter with/Martín Fierro/. Cabezón, born in Buenos Aires in 1968, has several acclaimed novels under her belt, and was a founding member of the feminist collective Ni Una Menos.
