He also wrote the "Last Bad Novel" (Adriana Buenos Aires) and the "First Good One" (The Museum of Eterna's Novel).

She was a Fulbright fellow to Argentina in 2004, during which time she researched the life and works of Macedonio Fernández.Adam Thirlwell is the author of the novels Politics and The Escape.
