«Bad Times in Buenos Aires» is Miranda France's travel book, published by Phoenix Paperbacks in paperback (224 pages, in English).
In 1993, Miranda France moves to Buenos Aires, drawn by its reputation as an intellectual capital. She discovers a contradictory city: rich in writers and history, but hard to inhabit. The book portrays the 'bronca', the contained rage of the porteños, and connects it with colonial violence, the dictatorships and Evita Perón.
Miranda France's first book, originally published in 1998; in 1996 she had won the Shiva Naipaul Memorial Prize for an article about Buenos Aires. This edition is from 1999.
For readers of travel literature and non-fiction seeking an ironic and personal look at Buenos Aires and its recent history.
