Immerse yourself in 'The Buenos Aires Affair', a political and sentimental thriller by renowned author Manuel Puig. Set between 1930 and 1969, the novel follows the last days of Leo Druscovich and the mystery surrounding a series of disappearances and obsessions. As the plot progresses, the figure of the detective transforms into that of a psychoanalyst, and the investigation of a crime becomes a reflection on the national situation. Puig interweaves individual and social violence, official lies, and family secrets in a plot of seduction, psychoanalysis, and fascism. This edition of Seix Barral includes a prologue by Mario Mendoza.
