In Spanish. "Roberto Arlt (1900–1942) was an Argentine writer, journalist, and playwright known for his raw, experimental style and incisive social critique. His major works include the novels El juguete rabioso (1926), Los siete locos (1929), and Los lanzallamas (1931), which depict Buenos Aires’s underworld with a mix of existential angst and political subversion. His Aguafuertes porteñas, a series of sharp and ironic newspaper columns, offer a vivid portrayal of early 20th-century Argentine society. A pioneer of modern Argentine literature, Arlt’s influence endures in Latin American narrative and journalism"—Wikipedia
