Andrés Palladino

Short-story collection

Los que vuelven tarde

Argentine edition · Editorial Caburé, 2026 · Six stories

Six stories in which the past returns to unsettle lives that seemed to have moved beyond it. Family memory, identity and experience pull in different directions.

Cover of Los que vuelven tarde

These stories explore what endures when relationships change and accounts of a life no longer agree. In Tierra colorada, the opening story, a family feud, an old prophecy and the return of a horse bring questions of ownership, memory and communal belief into focus.

Two recognised stories

  • Tierra arrasada
    Second prize in the VIII Ecoparque de Trasmiera International Short Story Competition.
  • A salvo
    Finalist in the VII International Short Story Competition organised by the Casa Regional de Castilla-La Mancha in Parla.

Both stories are included in the collection.
