Synopsis "El amor argentino (in Spanish)"

Enero de 1959. Sobreviviente del bombardeo de Plaza de Mayo, el joven profesor Gómez, cabecita negra, simpatizante peronista, enamorado de un obrero de la carne, deambula por una Buenos Aires estremecida por los tanques y las molotov durante la toma del frigorífico Lisandro de la Torre. Gómez, para quien el amor está tan prohibido como el peronismo, busca evadirse investigando el romance entre Roberto Arlt y Evita. El escritor y la actriz se cruzaron en la realidad y murieron un mismo día, con diez años de diferencia.En esta novela vertiginosa, alucinada, Guillermo Saccomanno retoma la carne y la violencia como representación de lo nacional, presente en la literatura argentina desde El matadero de Esteban Echeverría.
