Description: "However, I've been lost for a long time. I lack the strength to escape that lazy machine, which, night after night, plunges me deeper and deeper into the depths of a brothel apartment, where other dreadful, bored souls like myself hold a screen of cards between their fingers and listlessly move black or green chips, while time drips like water into the filthy pool of our souls. I've never spoken to any of my companions about you, and what for?"--
Brief description: Es considerado uno de los autores más categóricos de la literatura argentina. Su estilo y sus estructuras narrativas, por momentos ásperas y por otros poéticas, dejan su profunda huella en la literatura sudamericana. Escritores como Ricardo Piglia, César Aira o Roberto Bolaño son herederos de sus búsquedas literarias. Cortázar lo consideró su maestro.
