Synopsis "Tango Discusion y Clave (in Spanish)"

Las vueltas que da el mundo, Borges: Cuando yo era muchacho, en años que ya me parecen pertenecer a una especie de sueño, versos suyos me ayudaron a descubrir melancólicas bellezas de Buenos Aires; en viejas calles de barrio, en rejas y aljibes, hasta en la modesta magia que a la tardecita puede contemplarse en algún charco de las afueras. Luego, cuando lo conocí personalmente, supimos conversar de esos temas porteños, ya directamente, ya con el pretexto de Schopenhauer o Heráclito de Efeso. Luego, años más tarde, el rencor político nos alejó; y así' como Aristóteles dice que las cosas se diferencian en lo que se parecen, quizá podríamos decir que los hombres se separan por lo mismo que quieren. Y ,ahora, alejados como parece que estamos, yo quisiera convidarlo con estas páginas que se me han ocurrido sobre el tango. Y mucho me gustaría que no le disgustasen. Creameló

Ernesto Sabato (1911-2011) was born in Rojas, Buenos Aires Province. He earned his PhD in Physics and studied philosophy at the University of La Plata, worked on atomic radiations at the Curie Laboratory, and permanently left science in 1945 to dedicate himself exclusively to literature. He has written several essay books about man in the crisis of our time and about the meaning of literary activity ?thus, The Writer and His Ghosts (1963; Seix Barral, 1979), Apologies and Rejections (Seix Barral, 1979), One and the Universe (Seix Barral, 1981) and The Resistance (Seix Barral, 2000)?, his autobiography, Before the End (Seix Barral, 1999), and three novels whose definitive versions were presented by Seix Barral to the Spanish-speaking public in 1978: The Tunnel in 1948, On Heroes and Tombs in 1961 and Abaddón the Exterminator in 1974 (awarded in Paris as the best foreign novel published in France in 1976). Writers as diverse as Albert Camus, Graham Greene and Thomas Mann, Salvatore Quasimodo and Guido Piovene, Witold Gombrowicz and Maurice Nadeau have written with admiration about his work, which has received the Cervantes Prize, the Menéndez Pelayo Prize and the Jerusalem Prize.
