This work follows the adventures of a young woman determined to conquer the world, pushing the limits established in patriarchal post-dictatorship Argentina. A rogue's gallery of cultists, poisoners, and fans of exotic dance accompany the picara in her adventures.
A hilarious and irreverent picaresque, All Night Movie follows the adventures of a young woman determined to conquer the world, pushing the limits established in patriarchal postdictatorship Argentina. A rogue's gallery of cultists, poisoners, ne'er-do wells, fans of exotic dance, and not least, visitors to a disconcertingly erotic telephone booth accompany the picara in her adventures. Borinsky's lyric prose fuses the languages of popular culture, politics, proverbs, tango and cinema in a seamless continuum illuminating the dark corners and enigmas of a society that celebrates its own demise. As Luisa Valenzuela says in her Introduction: ""The reward does not consist in the suspension of disbelief. It consists in another belief that will open wide the doors for us to go out and play.
