This work presents a fascinating biographical and critical study of the forgotten Argentine poet Evaristo Carriego, whose verses captured the essence of early 20th-century Buenos Aires. The author masterfully reconstructs Carriego's life and artistic contributions, illustrating the profound connection between the poet's work and the burgeoning mythology of the arrabal, or city outskirts. It uncovers the cultural landscape that shaped tango and its associated folklore, offering a unique perspective on Argentine identity. The narrative chronicles the poet's influence while simultaneously reflecting on the author's own youthful impressions of a bygone era, creating a rich tapestry of literary criticism and personal reminiscence in Evaristo Carriego.
