«Fuego en Casabindo» is the novel by Héctor Tizón, published by Alfaguara in paperback, in Spanish.
Set in the Puna of Jujuy, the novel interweaves the memory of its characters with the dispute over land and the Andean worldview. Héctor Tizón builds prose close to a poetic tone to explore the identity of the Argentine northwest and the cultural roots of a region marked by uprooting and destiny.
The work is part of the Biblioteca de Alfaguara collection.
For readers interested in contemporary Latin American literature and regionalist narrative, particularly that set in the Argentine northwest.
Héctor Tizón was an Argentine writer and diplomat. He lived and worked from the ancestral home of his parents in Yala, a small rural town some 40 miles (64 km) north of San Salvador de Jujuy. Tizón served as the cultural attache in the Argentine Embassy in Mexico, and was forced into exile to Cercedilla in the Sierra de Guadarrama, west of Madrid, shortly after the military coup of 24 March 1976. Upon his return to Argentina, he settled back in Jujuy where he died on 30 July 2012. He won the Diamond Konex Award in 2004 as one of the most preeminent writers in Argentina.
