«The Buenos Aires Affair» is the crime novel by Manuel Puig, published by Seix Barral in paperback (222 pages, in Spanish).
A 35-year-old sculptor, Gladys Hebe D'Onofrio, tormented by her fantasies, and art critic Leo Druscovich, marked by guilt, cross paths in a story that oscillates between the roles of victim and criminal. The narrative is built from lists, notes, and transcripts: an ironic variation on the crime genre with echoes of classic cinema.
This 1986 edition belongs to Seix Barral's Biblioteca de Bolsillo collection; the novel was originally published in 1973.
Will appeal to readers of Latin American fiction and those seeking an ironic take on the crime genre.
