Como toda ciudad, Buenos Aires es paraje cernido, percolado, sometido a los mitos y prejuicios de quien la recuerda y rememora: es tarde y crepúsculo, noche, patio, aurora, amigos, amores, calles y sucesos, sueño y, en ocasiones, pesadilla.
Barrios disímiles, amados y despreciados, aceptados y rechazados: uno repudiado, al que el poeta le reclama “sufres de caos, adoleces de irrealidad, te empeñas en jugar con naipes raspados por la vida”; otro protegido, que Borges preserva del olvido que es el “modo más pobre del misterio”.
Barrios de barrios, como Barrio Norte que alguna vez fue “un argumento de aversiones y afectos, como las otras cosas del amor”, o como Palermo, ese barrio poseedor “de unas cuantas milongas para hacerte valiente y una baraja criolla para tapar la vida y unas albas eternas para saber la muerte”.
