Seven Madmen

  • 249 PAGES
  • OUT OF PRINT

A semiautobiographical novel of streetlife in 1920s-era Buenos Aires. Borges called the underappreciated Roberto Arlt (1900-42), a great writer who wrote badly. Arlt channels the chaos, opportunity, grit and allure of immigrant Buenos Aires in madcap, headlong prose. (ARG47, $20.00)
