Rodolfo Enrique Fogwill

He is particularly notable for the short novel Malvinas Requiem (Los pichiciegos), which was one of the first narratives to deal with the Falklands War between Argentina and the United Kingdom, and is written from the point of view of young Argentine conscripts.

More generally, Erin Graff Zivin notes that in much of his work, Fogwill is concerned with "marginal subjects": in Vivir afuera, for instance, these include "'Jews,' HIV-positive patients, drug addicts, prostitutes, and impoverished artists.

"[2] Famously, it was begun before the war had even ended, and finished only a week later, product of a seventy-two-hour writing binge without sleep, fuelled by cocaine.

In 2006 Centre for Experimentation (CETC) of Teatro Colón proposed that as a national poet Rodolfo Enrique Fogwill work with the composer of his choice.

The opera depicted the incredible decadence into which Argentina fell which led to economic collapse and a series of economic problems have been referred to as the “Tango Crisis.” "The Festival of the Monsters"[6] was a short story written by Jorge Luis Borges and Adolfo Bioy Casares and it is with this in mind that Fogwill referred to "the monsters" in his book of poems "Lo Dado" ("The Given").
