Summary

Con Historia argentina, su primer libro (que contiene, dice, el germen de todos los libros posteriores), Rodrigo Fresán causó conmoción y fue considerado el abanderado de la llamada joven narrativa argentina.

Aparecidos, desaparecidos, desaparecedores profesionales y amateurs, Mickey Mouse, Eva Perón, golpes de Estado, estados depresivos, Estados Unidos, tiempo tormentoso, truenos y rayos, hiperconductividad, gurkhas, Lawrence de Arabia, primera persona, tercera persona, gauchos minimalistas, variaciones Goldberg, montoneros, rock & roll, la calavera de Mozart, inexactitudes biográficas, ciencias exactas, dulce de leche, drogas duras, yuppies en caída, catástrofes aéreas, ninfas posmodernas, naufragios, islas Malvinas, colegios ingleses, gastronomía hindú, astucias aztecas, campeones mundiales, sueños recurrentes, canciones de moda, prostitutas ilustres, árboles sin nombre, novelas perdidas, exilio, un prócer amnésico, un escritor que recuerda demasiadas cosas, la imposibilidad de cambiar la historia y el relativo consuelo de poder contarla de otra manera...

Como ha escrito Ignacio Echeverría, «la impredecible fortuna de un libro como Historia argentina, con su estética pop, con su estilo sincopado y melodioso, con su sincretismo sentimental, invitaba a señalarlo como manual de instrucciones a partir del cual pergeñar el patrón de una literatura mutante».
