Sample text
2000, Buenos Aires, Argentina Writer Imbert’s diversity is evidenced by his contributions to the socialist newspaper La Vanguardia from 1931 to 1937, the novel Vigilia (Vigil) (1934), the collection of essays La flecha en el aire (The Arrow in the Air) (1937) and the fantastic (see fantastic literature) short stories of El grimorio (The Other Side of the Mirror) in 1961. He began teaching in 1940. In his canonical yet problematic Historia de la literatura hispanoamericana (Spanish-American Literature: A History) (1954) he categorized literature by generation and offered only impressionistic views of female writers.
Concerned in general with recurrent themes such as perception, childhood and the nature of ‘the Argentine’, his novels always display a subtle humour as well as rich and explosive descriptions. His novel La abeja (The Bee) (1996) is a satire of the terrors felt by the Argentine middle classes.
