Urbana
En Urbana unos inversores conocedores del mundo inmobiliario y de los vericuetos de las habilitaciones estatales inauguran un apart hotel durante el verano porteño. Fuera de temporada, y ante la resistencia del vecindario, a la fiesta de inauguración concurren estrellas de segunda categoría, modelos semiconocidas y una fauna de curiosos entre los que se encuentra un personaje más bien oscuro que merodea por la piscina. Una tormenta de verano trastoca los planes y la trama se empieza a revelar.

About the author
Rodolfo Enrique Fogwill
46 books148 followersRodolfo Enrique Fogwill (born in Buenos Aires in 1941), who normally goes by just his surname, Fogwill, was an Argentine sociologist, short story writer, and novelist.
Fogwill was full professor at the University of Buenos Aires< publisher of a legendary poetry book collection, essayist, and specialized columnist in communication subjects, literature and cultural politics. The success of his story "Muchacha punk" (Punk girl), which received the first prize in an important literary contest in 1980, made him leave his job as a businessman, and begin, according to his words, "a plot of misunderstandings and misfortunes" that took him to his present occupation as a writer. Some of his texts have made their way into diverse anthologies published in the United States, Cuba, Mexico, and Spain. He is perhaps particularly notable for his short novel Los pichiciegos (translated as Malvinas Requiem), which was one of the very first narratives to deal with the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
