Synopsis "Los Galgos, los Galgos (in Spanish)"

Despues de la muerte de su padre, Julian hereda Las Zanjas, una estancia que ocupa con desconcierto y alegria. Custodiados por los galgos Corsario y Chispa, Julian y su novia, Lisa, construyen una casa, plantan arboles, cabalgan los bañados y se aman sin saber que el mal que avienta los amores no ronda afuera, sino que anida dentro de uno. Mientras el indolente Julian persevera en sus conmovedores esfuerzos por convertirse en un hacendado moderno, su temperamento melancolico y la influencia de su familia se van convirtiendo en un lastre que entumece su vida y sus afectos. Las peripecias desencadenadas por el cambio llevan al protagonista a Paris y luego de regreso a Buenos Aires, en un mundo que parece no tener lugar para el, con el tiempo que corre veloz como los galgos amados.

She was born in Buenos Aires in 1931. Granddaughter of the famous Argentine naturalist and minister Ángel Gallardo, great-granddaughter of Miguel Cané, and great-great-granddaughter of Bartolomé Mitre, the extensive library in her family home opened the doors to literature for her at an early age. January, her first novel, appeared in 1958 and received excellent critical reception. This was followed by Blue Pants (1963) and the extraordinary The Greyhounds, The Greyhounds (1968), which established her with the general public and with which she won the Municipal Prize. In addition to novels, she wrote children's literature and a book of stories (The Country of Smoke, 1977). She was also a contributor to the magazines Primera Plana and Confirmado, among others, as well as to the newspaper La Nación. Eisejuaz (1971) confirmed her as a voice without parallel, which also meant her relative marginality in the subsequent canonical narratives of Argentine literature, a circumstance that has been reversing over the last decade and a half thanks to the reissue of much of her work. In the late seventies, she left Argentina and began working as a correspondent in Europe. She died in Buenos Aires in 1988.
