[Tango-L] "Long After MIdnight at the Nino Bien..

[NANCY]

a Yanqui's missteps in Argentina".  By Brian Winter.

"Part travel memoir, and part a love letter to a
remarkable, troubled, and irresistible county and the
dance that epitomizes it...........a step into the
Argentine soul."

What can I say?  It is a very entertaining, easy read.
 Covers the 2001-2004  period during the financial
crisis, artfully outlines the history of tango and the
county.  Reveals what the milongueros talk about at
their tables in the milongas.   Discusses the games
played by teachers, students, dancers, lovers,
taxistas, waiters, kiosqueros.  If you have been to
BsAs you will be reminded.  If you have not, you will
be warned.  He hasn't missed anything in my
experience.

And what fun to figure out the real-life tipos that
appear under aliases.  Some Spanish, but
understandable.

Winter was a journalist in BsAs and currently works
for USA Today and is the co-author of "The Accidental
President of Brazil".
