By Way of Buenos Aires - Paperback

by Gwen Niekamp (Author)

Gwen is in Argentina for the summer when she meets Mauro, and soon they're spending all of their time together-hanging at the antique shop, going to the club, complaining about their relationships. Her senior year of college is looming on the horizon. It's not romantic, exactly, but it isn't not romantic. Hard to say, for both of them, what it is. "Surely," Niekamp writes, "in the 271,476 words that make up our two languages, there is something that fits us, but if there is, I don't know it." A memoir about friendship, men and women, Spanish grammar, and being in your early 20s.
