Recienvenido has just arrived in Buenos Aires and is completely in awe of the world around him. Through his innocent eyes, the absurdities of political, social, and intellectual life in the city are revealed. Full of humor and keen commentary, these notes are an example of the avant-garde writing that stemmed from the boom of Latin American creativity in the early 20th century. A written portrait of the author by Ramon Gomez de la Serna and an afterword by Jorge Luis Borges shed light on the evolution of Fernandez s work.

Llenas de humor y comentarios agudos, estas notas son una muestra de los escritos vanguardistas que fueron resultado de la explosion de creatividad latinoamericana al principio del siglo XX. Un retrato escrito del autor por Ramon Gomez de la Serna y una despedida por Jorge Luis Borges arrojan luzsobre la evolucion de la obra de Fernandez.
