One more reason not to die
30 November 2023
What begins by threatening to be an exhibition of UmbertE's 'vegetal memory' (1,200 ancient books and 32,000 modern ones) ends up being a journey through the eclectic nutrients of his mind and the lush fruits they produced, both in him and in us, his readers/listeners.

There's an Argentine quota that doesn't end with Borges but includes interviews with Mariano Grondona ('We are in a time when education is not about providing information, but about teaching how to be selective with it') or exclusive drawings that Quino dedicated to him.

In the end, one finds one more reason not to die: we can't take our library with us.
