An Encounter with Martín Caparrós for His Novel _BUE_ at Espacio Fundación Telefónica

An encounter with author and journalist Martín Caparrós, accompanied by author Rodrigo Fresán, to present Caparrós's new novel, _BUE_. The event delves into the themes of the novel, exploring Buenos Aires as a city and its literary representation through Caparrós's powerful writing.

This event hosted Martín Caparrós, a distinguished author and journalist known for his exploration of grand and complex themes through novels, essays, and chronicles. The discussion centered on his new work, _BUE_ (Random House, 2025), featuring a conversation with author Rodrigo Fresán. The novel _BUE_ is described as a literary exploration of Buenos Aires, examining its evolution from humble origins to a sprawling metropolis of 15 million inhabitants. Caparrós's narrative intertwines personal stories with the city's essence, reflecting its hopes, frustrations, and the 'surprising incongruity' of urban life. The discussion likely touched upon the novel's hybrid nature, employing fiction's tools to chronicle an urban space teeming with diverse voices and lives, incorporating elements of picaresque, noir, and family saga. The event offered insights into the city's characters, settings ranging from bars and apartments to morgues and television studios, and the human comedy that mirrors the city's and country's broader trajectories.
