In 'El sueño del señor juez' (The Dream of Mr. Judge), Carlos Gamerro presents us with a plot as absurd as it is solid. Don Urbano Pedernera, a former commander turned justice of the peace, unleashes chaos in Malihuel by ordering the arrest of Rosendo Villalba based on a dream. As the story progresses, Pedernera becomes a despot, executing the inhabitants of the town according to his dreams. This novel, which recovers the Argentine gaucho tradition, builds a mordant and combative universe, enriched with elements of the Spanish Baroque, Shakespeare, Kafka, and Borges.
