In the cafes and bars of Rosario, Argentina, there are sure to be many tall tales told. But none, perhaps, quite as spectacular as those recounted by Trafalgar Medrano.

Tres veces luz by Juan Mattio ES
Country: South America / Argentina
Argentina
Description:
La historia terrible que apuesta a contar Mattio arranca clásicamente con una muerte en uno de los 20 puertos de la provincia de Santa Fe, lo que da pie a la intervención de una tan brillante como amargada fiscal investigadora, impecablemente dibujada. Lejos de apostar al misterio y a la solución de una intriga, la novela juega a la simultaneidad, construyendo contexto al tiempo que se avanza el esclarecimiento. No hay sorpresa sino impacto constante en esa reconstrucción del trayecto infernal de unos polizones en la bodega del buque de carga Propp, que une Costa de... continue

Un hombre by Juan José Becerra ES
Country: South America / Argentina

Si pudiera, el protagonista de Un hombre —la mitad autónoma del nuevo díptico de Juan José Becerra (la otra es Dos mujeres)— sería todos los hombres del mundo, y ninguno, pero es solo un hombre común que —como el común de los hombres— se enfrenta a la dificultad de vivir.

Allí comienza con naturalidad una carrera de locos hacia no sabe dónde, lo que lo convertirá sucesivamente (o simul... continue
