The year I didn't travel to Buenos Aires
by Saray Encinoso Brito
Description
Thanks to a cancelled flight Saray Encinoso rediscovers a very particular Argentina through the stories of others: some of them closer to her own story, from her father or his great-grandfather; others, less so, from Andrés Calamaro, Julio Cortázar or Werner Herzog.
Why do we travel? Is it travelling seeing what we haven't seen yet or is it enough to imagine it? Maps of songs, lists of 'no-to-visit' places, inspiring books, albums without pictures... Music is an important part in this trip, that's why the book provides access to a Spotify playlist, created by the author for this special voyage.
This book is a fascinating and original imaginary guide to a journey that never happened. An honest book that puts the focus on everything that goes unnoticed. On the importance of looking and scaling down.
According to journalist Juan Cruz, this is «an extremely beatiful book both Borges and Cabrera Infante would have enjoyed». (Babelia, El País)
