Summary
"Contrary to what its name suggests, this archive does not intend to atone for our national guilt, nor to purify us of any evil. It is, instead, the exact reverse of what the press and its perpetual search for current affairs propose: re-reading the archives of the past to discover that stories do not have an expiration date. Illuminated by the light that time projects, through a delicate process of galvanization, Jochamowitz brings back a collection of ghosts that, despite being made of paper, are animated with an unusual vigor. The result is a collection of characters and moments, remarkable or eccentric, that helped shape almost a century of our great and small history. Politicians, criminals, pimps, writers, dancers, cartoonists, journalists, horses, soldiers, crazy people, suicides, parties, betrayals, coups and close friends, parade through the pages of these fifty-six columns published by the magazine Caretas."--Publisher's information, translated.
