Osvaldo Soriano

Writer

Argentine journalist and writer noted for short stories and novels that mix a reporter-like style with poetic irony; a passionate fan of football who experienced exile and returned to Argentina in 1984.

According to the review: Osvaldo Soriano (1944-1997) was an Argentine journalist and writer, a football lover, who sought refuge in Europe during the 1976 crisis and returned to Argentina in 1984. The Italian edition of Cuentos de los años felices was published as Pensare con i Piedi by Einaudi (1995). His work blends journalism, poetry, memory, and political themes such as democracy and human rights.

A collection of 33 stories where Soriano blends his passion for football with political and historical reflections. The prose mixes a reporter-like, journalistic voice with poetic irony and nostalgic melancholy. Themes include exile, democracy, human rights and family memory. The Italian edition is titled Pensare con i Piedi.

For:Readers of Latin American literature, fans of football-themed fiction, and those interested in Argentine political history.

 "Pensare con i Piedi" is one of the works where this passion best blends with the "political" and historical Soriano: 33 stories in which private affairs, "legendary" episodes (some actually happened, others lost in the folds of History and therefore reconstructed by the author's poetry) and Argentine chronicle are sewn together with the common thread of the ball.
