Ya libre soy. La vida y la muerte de un cuentapropista de 12 años en la Argentina del ajuste

Abstract

The chronicle narrates the story of Ricardo Pereyra, a 12-year-old boy who lived in the Lanús municipality, and spent his days selling door-to-door glass jars and glasses. After having described how Ricardo is hit by a truck and/or a taxicab, the author—with the help of multiple dialogues with the boy's parents and brothers—reveals the life of a poor family during the Argentinean settling of scores.
