Description
Author of the first novel published in Argentina with a homosexual theme, 'Ay de Mi, Jonathan' (Woe is Me, Jonathan), which was published despite the extreme military government's position at the time against non-conformity. Book contains stories reflecting the loneliness of being gay at the time interjected with episodes about campy Argentine homosexuals and lesbians of the 1960s and 1970s, and often mirrors his own life. Part of the staff of the prestigious literary journal 'Sur'. Critic for the newspaper La Prensa.
