WRITER / JOURNALIST
Argentina
A screenwriter, translator, and journalist, he is also the author of novels and essays. After the character obsessed by hairstyles in Histoire des cheveux, then the hypersensitive narrator who is unable to cry in Histoire des larmes, with Histoire de l’argent, Alan Pauls offers an uncompromising triple portrait of Argentina in the late 20th century. This story of a young man obsessively searching for a mysterious suitcase filled with banknotes turns money into a metaphor for what is lost to us forever.
