Tribute: Pedro Orgambide Lástima Bandoneón
His full name was Pedro Gdanski Orgambide and he was one of the most prolific Argentinean writers. He published novels, essays and biographies. He was also a journalist and author of theater and T.V. scripts. His work and thoughts have been always committed to the political and social reality since he considered writing could help to reflect and change the world. He loved the tango and used to dance it whenever he could. As a tribute, three years from his dead, a video where he reads "Lástima Bandonéon", and an interview, given to channel Aleph in 1998, where he talks about Raúl González Tuñón, a writer who helped him, when he was a teenager, to publish his first poems.
