The
murder
A
fashionable Buenos Aires gallery is showing the works of Juan Pablo Castel.
During the show he notices a young woman staring at one of his paintings.
Maria Iribarne's unique appreciation reveals her to be the only person
who truly understands him and his work, and signals the beginning of a
desperate, passionate obsession for both of them.
Born and educated in Argentina, Ernesto Sábato, has written three
novels and many volumes of essays. In 1985 he won the Miguel de Cervantes
Prize (equivalent to the Nobel Prize for literature in Hispanic languages)
for four decades of literary endeavour.
'Buenos Aires has given us very great writers: Borges, Cortázar
and Sábato, the prophet'
