الرجل الذي أعطاني بسكويتة

When Penny Woolcock set out to write her memoir about growing up in the little-known British community of Buenos Aires, she expected to tell the story of her escape from a sheltered childhood where girls like her were trained for marriage and high society. But she soon discovers that behind the elegant facade of afternoon tea and hockey games lies a much darker story, one of mass slaughter and amnesia. _The Man Who Gave Me a Biscuit_ combines memories of a turbulent adolescence, which saw Woolcock join a radical theater troupe and fall in love with the most unsuitable man she could find, with reflections on the legacy of violence and tyranny that still permeates her native country to this day. In these pages we learn about the “Desert Conquest,” a genocide that occurred fifteen years after its ancestors arrived from Europe; a series of military coups, including a murderous junta in the 1970s; the surrealist oddities of Byronism; And the madness of the current president, Javier Milley, whose main advisor is his dead dog, Conan. This story alternates between being funny and painful, entertaining and downright terrifying, exquisitely contrasting the excitement of a teenager's world opening up to him, and the brutality of a society closed off by oppression and fear.
