Reviewed by Stephen Page
To know the city of Buenos Aires, and to understand the people who live there, this is the book to read. Tourists will have a guidebook, a history book, and a sociological map of the city. Expats will read this book and awaken, as in an epiphany, and say, “This is what I always knew but could not articulate.” Porteños (Buenos Aires city residents) will read this book and see themselves like looking in their mirrors in …

Día 4 - Return to El Calafate
Our ride from Helsingfors back to El Calafate wasn’t due until 14h00, and we planned to just hang out and recover from our previous exertions, maybe get in a gentle stroll. But when our guide offered to escort us to scenic “Windy Point” for one last view of the glacier, we said OK… why …

Stephen Page has two poems published on Lit Up Magazine:
Here are the poems:
Transition
When the cows have eaten all the grass
And the butcher cannot buy,
What do we do with the clover
That has not yet recovered?
When the bulls leap barbwire
To find the cows in heat,
What do we do with the toothless
Hags tagging behind their calves?
When the sheep return to twenty-one
And the shepherd is on the highway,
What do we do with the fallen twigs
And the uncut park grass?
When the fenceposts lie to rot in ponds
And the Fencer curves his line,
What do we do …

Not surprisingly, there are more theatrical shows here than in any other city in South America.I now find myself here for more than three years, immersed in its culture and people, el castellano (the particular Argentine Spanish), and the tango. Dancing the tango, singing the …
