Also at 7 p.m., the book launch of "My Friends: The Argentine Exile of María Teresa León" by Alicia Ovando will take place. Participants include Annamaría Muchnik, Juan Chiesa, Beatriz Figallo, and the author in the Alfonsina Storni Room.
And at 8:30 p.m., the great Nilson publishing house presents "The Wolf and His Time" by Laura Devetach . The poems in this book prowl like menacing wolves, exposing us to a disturbing series of sensations that, as we turn each page, are tense, tingly, and alert. And it turns out you're not the same after reading. The legendary Laura Devetach herself, Laura Roldán Devetach, Cecilia Bajour, and Sebastián Vargas will participate in the Rodolfo Walsh room.
