El ciudadano ilustre
Daniel Mantovani is an Argentinian writer who has been living in Europe for decades, globally acclaimed for having won the Nobel Prize in Literature. His novels are characterized by portraying life in Salas, a small town in Argentina where he was born and hasn't return since his youth. Among the several correspondences, he receives a letter from the Town Hall of Salas inviting him to receive the town's highest recognition: the Distinguished Citizen's medal. Once there, the writer will realize both the affinities that still tie him to Salas and the insuperable differences that will turn him into a strange and disturbing element for the town's life, reaching a point of no return that reveals two irreconcilable ways of seeing the world.
