Seven Madmen

by Roberto Arlt

  • LITERATURE
  • 1999
  • PAPER
  • 249 PAGES
  • OUT OF PRINT

Borges called the underappreciated Roberto Arlt (1900-42), a great writer who wrote badly. This semi-autobiographical novel, published in 1929, recalls the chaos, opportunity, grit and allure of immigrant Buenos Aires of the time in madcap, headlong prose. Like his protagonist, Arlt was a frustrated inventor with European roots.  (ARG47, $20.00)
