Journalistic Work , 1997

The more than one hundred articles that Ideas en venta brings together, reveal the reason of the author when he affirmed: "To me these ideas make me laugh, but it is because I was badly educated." With irony in the content and lightness in form, Jorge Ibargüengoitia animated from 1968 to 1976 the editorial pages of Excélsior. In this period, the novelist dealt with issues ranging from individual pleasures - writing, travel and film passion - to matters of collective order - corruption, urban disorder, the arrival of man to the moon - without tempering his fierce and sarcastic vision.
