From their website:

The third book in our ongoing series of discussions of contemporary Latin American literature is Cesar Aira’s An Episode in the Life of a Landscape Painter, a fictionalized story from the real life of German artist Johan Moritz Rugendas. The European painter’s dramatic encounter on the pampas of Argentina offers him the chance to achieve true inspiration — but at an immense cost. Please join us in the TeaHouse for what promises to be a lively discussion.
