Our age of schizophrenic and hypertrophied globalization makes a quaint memory of the regionalism that once structured the novel, particularly in Latin America. Argentina’s bourgeoisie (for which I am a case study) can be found studying at liberal arts colleges in the Northeastern United States, picking kiwis in New Zealand, or having affairs in Japan.

Tiempo de lectura: 21 minutosIFue tragedia y milagro simultáneo. Era sábado cuando una bala rozó la oreja derecha de Donald Trump, que se salvó por un giro fortuito de cabeza y la impericia del asesino. Veremos este video hasta el hartazgo: Trump habla, mira al costado, suenan explosiones. Se lleva la mano a la oreja y se agacha, un equipo de agentes del Servicio Secreto se le abalanza. Se escucha un disparo más, con el que los contrafrancotiradores mataron a Thomas Crooks, el tirador de 20 años.

By Federico PerelmuterTo say that Copi, Argentine-French cartoonist, playwright, actor, and writer, was born destined for his stellar career would be rather ironic considering the subject at hand, but true, nevertheless. Thus, an obligatory, prefatory genealogy, justified (only partially, I know) by its explanatory power: Copi was born Raúl Damonte Botana in Buenos Aires in 1939.

In 2002, shortly before his death, Roberto Bolaño – always sentimental – surveyed the three central tendencies of Argentine literature after Borges. One was commercial and frankly bad: this was the ‘fiefdom of Osvaldo Soriano’ who wrote nostalgic, high sales pablum about men in bars discussing football. Another current began with Roberto Arlt, self-taught and ambitious, but paranoid and dark: ‘the literature of doom has to exist, but if nothing else exists, it’s the end of literature’.

Ante el desacuerdo generalizado que caracteriza las operaciones del Congreso, la aprobación acelerada y bipartidaria de una amenaza a la red social TikTok en la Cámara de los Representantes podrÃa sugerir un contexto de apremio polÃtico o social. No obstante, tanto la dificultosa e improbable aprobación del proyecto de ley por el Senado y el contenido de la misma demuestran su leve absurdismo.

Han sido semanas intensas en el mundo de la inteligencia artificial (IA).

Lerner, Cusk, Greenwell, Hemon, Cole, Dyer, Self, Sinclair, Craig, Hamburger . . . The list of Anglophone writers who bear a real or critically imposed debt to the German W. G. Sebald feels endless and has been repeated to the point of tedium. This attests less to the critical fervor accrued around Sebald’s influence over the past quarter century (though his 2001 death still feels recent) than to an obvious truth.
