(Download) eBooks) Malena by
Edgar David Holzman
"Like a true tanguera, Holzman's narrative 'flicks and walks and pencil turns' with passion, authority and style."?Meghan Nuttall Sayres, author of Anahita's Woven Riddle and Night Letter Set in Buenos Aires and Washington, DC, during Argentina's "Dirty War," Malena is the story of ordinary lives ensnared in a web of hidden horror. Kevin Solórzano (Solo) is an American interpreter who finds himself grappling with the government atrocities he discovers, while Diego Fioravanti is an Argentine army captain who moonlights as a tango instructor. Rivals for the love of the same woman, the two men find their parallel paths converging, as their journey to the depths of the regime's terror will sear their souls and challenge
their humanity. Edgardo David Holzman is intimately familiar with Argentina's military dictatorship, which serves as the backdrop for Malena. Born in Buenos Aires and currently living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Holzman has law degrees from both Argentina and the United States. As an attorney and translator, Holzman has worked on numerous human rightsrelated projects for international organizations, including the compilation of Nunca Más (Never Again), the 1984 report of the Argentine National Commission on the Disappeared. Malena is his debut novel.
