Here Piglia pays homage to his favorite authors and scans their styles so skillfully that one would think the authors had barcoded their works specifically for him.
Like Borges, Piglia goes from reading to emotion, and from emotion to poetry, so that his critical analysis provokes an unexpectedly heartfelt reaction, an effect that is heightened by the book's conversational tone.
It is as if Piglia had invited us to pull one more chair around the table, participate in his modern symposium, and appreciate his many real and imagined friends.

 Sobre Piglia...
Piglia prefers to validate a theory of the Argentine soul by unconventional methods, emphasizing discontinuity, enhancing the lack of commitment of the word with the elusiveness of the image.
Piglia wishes to debunk the notion of Argentine lifestyle suggested by the establishment, with the family and Christian virtue as only cornerstones, and with national identity as the consecrated offspring of Western civilization.
Piglia is particularly interested in depicting Argentine identity as the outcome of an illicit affair, born of a fondness for myths, reflected in the recurrent tendency to mythologize, so evident in Borges and other local authors; it is in this regard that Discépolo's piece excels, granted its scheming contention.

 Amazon.com: Books: Money to Burn   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Piglia, one of Argentina's best-known contemporary writers (Absent City; Artificial Respiration), again delivers his signature blend of noirish crime and social commentary in this provocative tale of a 1965 Buenos Aires bank robbery and its bloody aftermath, based on a real crime.
By drawing on witness statements and police reports, Piglia proves that the bandits' raid was not just about the money; it was about freeing themselves from their old lives.
The plotting is choppy, the ending predictable and many of the action sequences run out of gas, but Piglia's remarkably precise descriptions and feel for his characters keep the novel's engine churning.
