En 'El siglo XX', Marcelo Birmajer nos presenta la historia de Eziel, un joven a punto de convertirse en hombre de su tribu. Su vida da un giro inesperado cuando se ve obligado a huir de Asrod, descubriendo un mundo desconocido y sorprendente: el siglo XX. En este nuevo entorno, Eziel se enfrenta a tradiciones antiguas que aún persisten, como la elección de pareja y la existencia de cines y bares, pero también a la cruda realidad del homicidio. A través de los ojos de Eziel, Birmajer explora las complejidades y contrastes de una sociedad en transición.
Marcelo Birmajer is an Argentine Jewish author. He is the grandson of Romanian, Polish, Lithuanian and Syrian immigrants. He is best known for writing the screenplay of the 2004 film El abrazo partido. Birmajer's work usually revolves around the Porteño neighbourhood of Once and its colorful inhabitants. Most stories feature Jewish characters, and he frequently uses for them the names Javier, or Mordejai/Mordechai depending on the character's level of religious observance. He also addresses Jewish issues such as synagogue attendance, Bar Mitzvahs, and the ever present alternative to immigrate to Israel.
