He is relatively well know for his book La saga/fuga, but i didn't read that one yet.<br /><br />As far as i know he met Borges, not sure if they were friends.<br /><br />About Off-side, i can say his character drawing is excellent, and that he sometimes blends reality with moments of fantasy (usually a mix of fantasy, history and the character imagination). The book has some references to spanish authors and social-economic aspects but, at least in the edition i read, those references are explained by the translator.Vampiregravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073192002945512407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8068873.post-84976813221975629522010-07-20T08:27:06.867-05:002010-07-20T08:27:06.867-05:00Interesting indeed!

One of the characters in this book is a writer called Leopoldo Allones, that shows some similarities with the description you provided above.Vampiregravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11073192002945512407noreply@blogger.com
