Titoli in Urbana

La trama de Caferatta mantendrá en vilo al lector hasta las últimas páginas con diálogos ágiles y amenos, profundamente filosóficos, pero cuya simplicidad retrata descarnadamente nuestro complejo tejido social. No faltan en esta novela crudas escenas de erotismo y conflictos pasionales, que lo llevarán de una casa de Don Torcuato a la intimidad de un café, desde unas oficinas en Puerto Madero hasta las de la CIA, para recalar finalmente en un pobre rancho de Gualeguay.

He was also the librettist with Richard Strauss of two operas and a keen collector of autographed musical manuscripts. His collection of over two hundred pieces was later donated to the British Library.
