A foreigner in his hometown
Argentina as seen by a cultured intellectual expat. A winner of the Nobel prize for literature, who has lived in Europe for decades, accepts an invitation from his native city in Argentina to receive an award.
After refusing big and prestigious awards all over the world, Mr. Mantovani, Literature Nobel Prize winner, accepts an invitation to visit his hometown in Argentina, which has been the inspiration for all of his books.
