Hi everyone,
I just posted a new short story translation at the blog Contemporary Argentine Writers: Esta noche, reunión en casa by Vicente Battista.
One hot summer night, Alejandro Funes runs into his former torturer on the streets of downtown Buenos Aires:
He ran into him one humid November night and was on the verge of screaming. Later, whenever Alejandro Funes thought of that night, the first and perhaps best thing he remembered was that initial encounter: Barreiro in the lobby of a movie theater, alone and carefree. I always imagined I’d run into him some day, Funes had often said, and he had always thought (although this he never did say) that day would be different.
Let me know what you think!
