In 1967, shortly before Agustin Fernandez Mallo was born, his father - a veterinarian from a village in Leon, and a firm believer in science and progress - travelled across the United States with the aim of bringing a herd of cows by plane to Galicia.

Almost half a century later, Fernandez Mallo makes his own journey through the American heartland, attempting to retrace his father's steps before he loses his memory.

Atom Heart Mother spans a century of Spanish history through a web of family stories and legends. A bracing intellectual elegy for a parent and for a world that is slowly slipping away, this chimerical work of historical reconstitution is Agustin Fernandez Mallo, one of the most ambitious and original Spanish-language authors, at his best and his most personal.
