Steeled with the ten rules of silence set out in her manual of rhetoric, she takes a job as a guard in the local museum. The advantages of her work are threatened when she's asked to assist in the re-embalming of the museum's pride and joy: two horses--of great national and historical significance--are disintegrating and must be saved. But her goal and her slippery grasp on sanity lead her to more anarchistic means to bolster her purpose. Bold, subversive, and threaded through with acerbic wit, \u003ci\u003eInclude Me Out\u003c\/i\u003e is an homage to silence and the impossibility of achieving it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaría Sonia Cristoff\u003c\/b\u003e (Trelew, Patagonia, 1965) is the author of five works of fiction and nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eFalse Calm: A Journey Through the Ghost Towns of Patagonia\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInclude Me Out\u003c\/i\u003e, and lives in Buenos Aires, where she teaches creative writing.
