About This Book

El autor narra sus recuerdos desde una infancia rural hasta su paso por la policía y el periodismo, combinando episodios biográficos con anécdotas urbanas. Describe el tránsito del campo a la ciudad, la vida cotidiana bonaerense, episodios policiales, retratos de personajes populares y escenas de café y farra, y ofrece glosas sobre el lunfardo y costumbres porteñas. El tono alterna entre la ironía picaresca y la observación minuciosa, y la obra se organiza en viñetas y capítulos breves que mezclan memoria, reportaje y folletín costumbrista.
