Lo cual lo lleva a mezclarse con dirigentes futboleros, mafiosos con prosapia, comisarios turbios, estancieros y traficantes, un par de monjas, Jorge Luis Borges y el diario Crítica, donde, inútil para cualquier oficio serio, termina trabajando. En medio de esas intrigas, Rivarola se topa con una conspiración muy elegante de la extrema derecha y, entre la Recoleta y el Hipódromo, intenta desarmarla. Y, mientras tanto, trata de escribir sus tanguitos para contar la mishiadura, las injusticias, el pan duro. Su historia es, al fin y al cabo, un recorrido por esa ciudad inmigrante y ambiciosa que ya empezaba su interminable crisis -y que todavía no tenía Obelisco.

En 1947 llegó a las librerías una asombrosa ópera prima, completamente ajena a los cánones imperantes de la literatura de guerra de aquellos años, aunque el trasfondo sea la ocupación nazi. Aquí el conflicto solo se refleja en los gestos salvajes y hoscos de una niña de nueve años, Paulette, a la que los bombardeos aéreos han dejado huérfana. Y en la gracia encantadora y los furores rabiosos de Michel, su compañero de juegos.Paulette y Michel, abandonados a su suerte por adultos embrutecidos por el trabajo en el campo y por grotescos hombres de fe, afrontan juntos la inmensa tarea de asumir la muerte y el duelo de su infancia.Ignorada por la crítica en su momento, y superada después por el éxito de la película de René Clément, esta novela destaca hoy más que nunca.

Longlisted for the PEN Translation PrizeThe internationally beloved author of Kitchen and Dead-End Memories returns with a beautiful and heartfelt story of a young woman haunted by her childhood and the inescapable bitterness that inevitably comes from knowing the truth.Yayoi, a 19-year-old woman from a seemingly loving middle-class family, has lately been haunted by the feeling that she has forgotten something important from her childhood. Her premonition grows stronger day by day and, as if led by it, she decides to move in with her mysterious aunt, Yukino.No one understands her aunt's unusual lifestyle. For as long as Yayoi can remember, Yukino has lived alone in an old gloomy single-family home, quietly, almost as though asleep. When she is not working, Yukino spends all day in her pajamas, clipping her nails and trimming her split ends. She eats only when she feels like it, and she often falls asleep lying on her side in the hallway. She sometimes wakes Yayoi at 2:00 a.m to be her drinking companion, sometimes serves flan in a huge mixing bowl for dinner, and watches Friday the 13th over and over to comfort herself. A child study desk, old stuffed animals--things Yukino wants to forget--are piled up in her backyard like a graveyard of her memories.An instant bestseller in Japan when first published in 1988, The Premonition is finally available in English, translated by the celebrated Asa Yoneda.

Narraciones de Gertrude SteinGertrude Stein llega a Estados Unidos y es conocida por dos cosas, por ser muy leída y por ser supuestamente ilegible. ¿Cómo preparar al público para recibir a alguien así? Quizá no por primera vez, a Bennet Cerf, editor de Stein en Random House, se le ocurre una idea: que la misma Stein explique en pocas palabras su estilo y las conferencias que piensa dar, en un cortometraje publicitario que se proyectaría en los cines de todo el país. La explicación que ella ofrece, finalmente, es simple. “Mis conferencias son una manera muy sencilla de decir que si uno entiende algo lo disfruta y si disfruta algo lo entiende”, resume una granulosa Stein en blanco y negro. “Entender y disfrutar son lo mismo”.La gira, a todas luces, fue un éxito. Gertrude Stein nunca volvió a Norteamérica.
