Novel , 1983
Periférica
Los pichiciegos (Malvinas Requiem), one of the great masterpieces of late 20th-century narrative, tells the story of a group of Argentine soldiers (“pichis”) who, following the construction of an underground shelter, desert right in the middle of the Falklands War (April-June 1982) to create a community with its own laws. Everything will then revolve around their basic needs: to eat, keep warm, see in the dark, and not be discovered. To achieve this, they will trade with both their own side and the English.
“Malvinas Requiem has a well-earned spot as the major literary piece on Argentina’s only twentieth-century war.”—Buenos Aires Herald
