A travelogue, a coming-of-age story, and the history of Argentina and the Tango. In the year 2000, Brian Winter graduated from college, and decided to go to Buenos Aires. Unable to find work, he bummed around the Tango nightclubs and became initiated into a group of Tango enthusiasts. Winter tells of his life while Argentina was going through a financial crisis and everybody was losing their life savings. The trip might have been the worst move for Brian Winter, except, he learned how to Tango, and developed a passion for the dance and the people who live to Tango. I have just returned from a trip to Argentina, and this book was given to me by my host in Buenos Aires. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
After moving to Argentina on a whim, Brian Winter, a young American reporter, embarks on a crusade to learn that devilishly difficult dance that demands both discipline and passion: the tango. While he dances the night away in the milongas with the fiery denizens of Buenos Aires, the country around them collapses, gripped by inflation, street riots, and revolution. In a book that is part travelogue and part history, the author evokes his immersion in a dark underworld. He visits old dance salons, brothels, and shacks on the dusty Pampa, searching for the tango's shady origins in the hope that understanding may help him dance better. Along the way, he discovers that the tango, with its tales of jealousy, melodrama, and lost glory, may hold the secret to the country that is inexplicably disintegrating before his eyes.
