	The name of "Los Inmortales"
		On the other hand, Alberto Gerchunoff has left some notes about the café in which he says he was the one responsible for the lucky idea, but not Sánchez.
		One day when Gerchunoff was seated at a table, he was approached by several young boys not quite faithful to their sex.
		Gerchunoff had a reputation for "namer" (he was who christened the "Nosotros" magazine, by Giusti and Bianchi, taking the name from the title of an unfinished novel by Payró, and he credited himself, furthermore, as we have already seen, for the fatherhood of the name of "Los Inmortales").

		Described by Argentinian author Jorge Luis Borges as "an indisputable writer", Gerchunoff was an associate university professor and editor of numerous magazines and newspapers.
		Gerchunoff assimilated into Argentine and Spanish culture by absorbing Spanish classics, especially Cervantes.
		In a style which mixes prose and magical realism, lyricism and the story-telling, the Hassidic Alberto Gerchunoff depicts the daily labour, the harvest, the seasons which go by, love stories, in short, the life from day to day of these men who were transformed forever by the violent and demanding grounds of the New World.

		The author Alberto Gerchunoff, a major figure in Argentine literature, had a genius for evoking landscapes and places.
		Many stories take place in small Argentinean villages, and the dust of the pampas as well as the boisterous fiestas, the heat and the smells, the lash of the wind, rise from the written words.
		Gerchunoff’s family (1884-1950) and 824 others emigrated in 1889 to the agricultural colony Santa Fe in northeastern Argentina, founded by philanthropist Baron Maurice de Hirsh as a haven for Jews fleeing the pogroms of Europe.

		In "The Construction of Diasporic Identity: The Aesthetic Discourse of the Jewish Gaucho," Elise Bartosik argues that the literary work of Alberto Gerchunoff (1884-1950) encodes a new and powerful construction of diasporic identity for Jews in Argentina at the beginning of the 20th century.
		She explores Gerchunoff's first collection of stories, Los gauchos judmos, arguing that it serves as an example of how diasporic identity is often constructed with great effect at the flexible intersection of art and politics.
		Bartosik also contends that Gerchunoff's articulation of Jewish identity also underscores the extent to which the historic and socio-political context of the host country can influence diasporic discourse, including the effectiveness of particular artistic media.

	Talia in heaven - short story Literary Review - Find Articles
		Like Spinoza, Kafka, Nabokov, and Joseph Brodsky, he was the ultimate translator: a bridge between idiosyncrasies.
		The narrative boom that catapulted Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Carlos Fuentes, and others from south of the Rio Grande to international stardom in the sixties, managed to sell a monolithic, suffocatingly uniform image of the entire continent as a Banana Republic crowded with clairvoyant prostitutes and forgotten generals, never a multicultural society.
		To such a degree were ethnic voices left in the margin that readers today know much more about Brazilian and Argentine Jews thanks to Borges's short stories, "Emma Zunz" and "The Secret Miracle," and Mario Vargas Llosa's novel, The Storyteller, than to anything written by Gerchunoff and his followers.

	Manuel Mujica Lainez Papers
		This lengthy novel, based on the real-life Prince Pier Francesco Orsini, Duke of Bomarzo who lived in sixteenth-century Italy, is considered by many critics to be an ambitious and imaginative novel, which is quite different in subject matter and style from the Latin American "Boom" novels that were published in the early and mid-1960s.
		The few manuscripts by Mujica Láinez include an autograph essay on Victoria Ocampo, "Victoria Argentina," which was written for a commission formed to honor her ("Comisión de Homenaje a Victoria Ocampo"), and a draft speech by Mujica Láinez, honoring Victoria Ocampo in December 1965.
		Among the letters sent to Mujica Láinez, there are two letters about the suicides of two well-known Argentine poets: one, by Alberto Gerchunoff on Leopoldo Lugones' death in 1938; and the other, by Alberto Manguel on Alejandra Pizarnik's death in 1972.

	village voice > music > Hip Hop Hoodíos' Agua pa' la Gente by Irin Carmon
		The gaucho, the tough, half-breed cowboy of Argentine lore, once ruled the pampas, and the Jews landing there a century ago wanted a piece of it.
		Los Gauchos Judíos—Alberto Gerchunoff's takeoff on Cervantes, the Yiddish folktale, and assimilationist fantasy—dreamed of Jewish rope-slingers who likely never existed.
		The self-described Latino-Jewish hip-hop collective Hip Hop Hoodíos' Agua pa' la Gente name-drops the gaucho judío and, like Gerchunoff, wants to rap about the pre-Inquisition love affair Jews had with Spanish, which the writer saw as a homecoming for exiled Jews to the golden age.

	From the Field
		A series of fortuitous accidents led me to the little-known specialty of Jewish Latin American literature.
		As a graduate student in Spanish at Harvard, I was spending the afternoon in Widener Library dutifully researching a Chilean novelist when I chanced on books by Carlos Grünberg, Bernardo Verbitsky, José Isaacson, and Alberto Gerchunoff.
		I read those books, and to my astonishment, discovered an entire literature.
