Martín Caparrós in conversation with Juan Bonilla

Buenos Aires is one of those cities straight out of a novel. It hides stories set to the rhythm of the tango on every corner, where any resident will tell you a tale worthy of Borges and where people pray to gods who dribble a football. A city of heroes and villains, where all manner of passions fill the air in streets scented with mate. It is therefore no surprise that the Argentine chronicler, journalist and writer Martín Caparrós has set his most recent works of fiction in the capital of Buenos Aires. BUE is an ode to the diversity of the city and those who have shaped it. Through dozens of characters, situations and settings, he weaves the history of the last century of this beautiful metropolis, inviting us to explore it with delight. He has also begun a series of six crime novels set in 1930s Buenos Aires, starring Pibe Rivarola, a hustler and accidental journalist who attempts to unravel mysteries and murders. The first three volumes have already been published: Todo por la patria, Horror de Buenos Aires and Los suicidios de Gardel.

Caparrós will discuss his work and the city of his life with the writer Juan Bonilla.

At the end of the event, the author will be signing copies of his books
