Betina Gonzalez

Arte Menor, a story of a daughter in search of her father’s elusive figure memory, was defined by Rosa Montero as "A fascinating work of magic about identity and imagination, about filial love and the uncertainness of life.

"[1] Eduardo Belgrano Rawson characterized the novel as a "detective story written with humor and intelligence about a daughter determined to solve the mystery of her father.

"[1] José Saramago considered that Betina Gonzalez had demonstrated, through her sense of proportion and balance, a "real command of such a complex genre as the novel."

[1] In 2006, the Argentine National Fund for the Arts awarded Betina González the second prize for Juegos de Playa, a collection of tales formed from a novella and four short stories.

Juegos de Playa, the novella that gives the title to the book, explores the fears and fantasies of a little girl during the 1982 Falkland War between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
