About the Book

A principios de 1911, un diplomatico retirado resuelve iniciar un diario. A medida que se interna en el, ira alternando sus paseos por Buenos Aires - que le devela sus recovecos mas intimos - con los acontecimientos diarios de la ciudad y el mundo: la construccion del pasaje Barolo, el mundo secreto que oculta la galeria Guemes, infinitos trazados para recorrer en tranvia, el crimen de Emma Zunz, el comienzo del mandato de Alvear, los pogroms de la Liga Patriotica, la marcha sobre Roma de los Camisas Negras, almuerzos en el Tigre Hotel, los raids aeronauticos, el advenimiento del nazismo en Alemania, la pelea Firpo - Dempsey, el golpe de Primo de Rivera en Espana.Dos afectos perdidos reaparecen para instalarse en el diario: Alhouma, su amante argelina en Paris, y su amigo Aluisio Azebedo, novelista y diplomatico brasilero. Junto a ellos conviven otros personajes del dia a dia: sus dos criadas y su chauffeur, fanaticos por el cine; un marchand y genealogista apasionado por el arte de vanguardia que lo inicia en la obra de Marcel Duchamp: una inquietante irlandesa, duena de un cabaret con orquesta de senoritas, que piensa promocionar las nuevas tendencias del jazz, dos jovenes libreros con quienes comenta los sucesos cotidianos de la politica y la ciudad; un banquero moralista; un piloto que ha sido un 'as' en la Primera Guerra Mundial; un quimico proclive a las novelas pornograficas, que le vaticina un futuro donde el plastico sera la materia prima fundamental.Amparado en la intimidad de la confesion, el protagonista escribe su verdadera opinion de los hechos como si comentara una funcion teatral. Sin embargo, en los entreactos de las placidas tertulias burguesas, descubre que larealidad es enganosa. Asi, cada uno de los involucrados en su diario tiene otra existencia apocrifa a la que, como a ciertos encantos secretos de la ciudad, no siempre el podra acceder.Confesiones de un dandy es una verdadera inmersion en la epoca - los anos B4 20 portenos - escrita con un
