Marjorie Agosín on Alicia Steimberg
← Back to Marjorie Agosín Profile
“Alicia Steimberg...recovers the almost hidden magic of objects that appear and that are transformed in her stories of life as occurs in "Viennese Waltz" or "Segismundo's Better World."”
“Steimberg was the first woman writer in Argentina to write with subversion and tenderness about the immigrant condition in Buenos Aires. Like Margo Glantz's Genealogías, Steimberg's is a fundamental autobiography in the Latin American canon.”
