Book Number 18 and my final book for the #BookSpinBonanza

Maybe I'm not one for Southern American writers. I wanted to learn more about Argentina, its history and tango. At first I googled the street names and locations, something I love doing. But soon I realized: there's way to much. To much names, to many places. I totally lost interest then. Most of the time I didn't know if the names & stories were real or not.

Jari-chan @TheAromaofBooks Thank you ❤ And don't worry, I've read so many good books thanks to this challenge, that this one doesn't matter at all. 4y

Quite enjoyable. Really interesting, literary (Borges), mysterious (the narrator is on a quest to find and listen to a mysterious, legendary tango singer as great as Carlos Gardel) and with (bonus for me) an emphasis on Buenos Aires' architecture. The young man, writing his thesis on tango and Borges travels to Argentina to find inspiration, writes in the all night numerous cafés and dreams of the many, many faces of the city. ???

A young man, writing his thesis on tango and Borges travels to Argentina to find inspiration, writes in the all night numerous cafés and dreams of the many, many faces of the city. You can hear the music, see the heat of the dance. #booktober #bookssetinSAmerica. ❤️?????
