Overview

Argentina cannot be explained. It is lived. This book invites you inside the everyday rituals that define Argentine identity: football, asado, mate, and truco. Not as traditions to be observed from afar, but as experiences shared, argued over, celebrated, and defended. Football, Asado & Truco is not a travel guide or a sports manual. It is a cultural journey into the codes, habits, and obsessions that shape the Argentine way of life. From long tables and locker rooms to moments of glory and defeat, Claudio Garbo reveals why asado is more than food, mate is more than a drink, truco is more than a card game, and football is far more than a sport. They are languages. Ways of belonging. Ways of trusting. Ways of saying we without words. Brief, direct, and honest, this book is written for curious readers who want to understand Argentina beyond stereotypes - and for those who already know that some things cannot be explained, only recognized.

Author Information

Claudio Garbo was born in Buenos Aires and raised in Mendoza, between mountains, old radios, and stories that always seemed to arrive with a bit of music in them. He learned early in life that Argentina cannot simply be described-it must be felt. And that every story-whether of tango, fútbol, everyday life, or memories that ache-carries a corner where truth still beats. A writer driven by emotion more than profession, Garbo explores the deepest fibers of Argentine identity and shares them with the world. His books blend memory, poetry, realism, humor, research, and a sensitivity that looks at ordinary moments as if they were quiet miracles. He writes about what he loves: the tango he inherited without asking for it, the fútbol that explains us better than any psychologist, the real life that wounds, surprises, and teaches, and the stories that follow us even when we think we've forgotten them. For Garbo, writing is a way of keeping a small light burning in the night: a way of telling the reader, softly and without hurry: ""Here we are. We are a country made of stories. And as long as someone wants to hear them, they will stay alive."" His mission as an author is both simple and immense: to help the world know Argentina not through headlines, but through its soul.
