In the tradition of Osvaldo Soriano, Leo Maslíah and Hernán Casciari, Barton writes with the skill of one who knows that laughter is one of the most lucid ways to read the world. No matter where you open the book, you will find a story capable of surprising, a page that disorients, or a line that flashes and dazzles, reported the Argentine News Agency. 'Barton presented himself to me with his powerful writer's physique, ready for anything. Immediately, non-stop theatrical dialogues appeared; questions that answered other questions, characters who changed their habits or perhaps their identity,' the report states. Buenos Aires, November 22 (NA) – Journalist and host Patricio Barton presents his first book of short stories, titled 'It Doesn't Matter When You Read This,' a work in which he aims to look at the everyday as if it had never been focused on before. With a prologue by Alejandro Dolina, Barton finds in his work an unexpected way to narrate the familiar: what seems trivial suddenly opens up to the absurd, the poetic, or the hilarious. In his first book, Barton displays creativity and freshness, as if literature had gotten up in a good mood. Barton had set himself a noble goal: to build a poetic language of concealments and revelations. 'Near the end, I was able to understand a different reality: the charm was in Barton himself, with his skillful handling of contradictions, classic tropes, things that are and are not at the same time, and constant violations of logic,' Dolina says in a segment of the prologue he dedicated to his friend. Barton is a communicator who has worked in various media (radio, print, television, podcast, streaming) through journalism, hosting, narrative, and humor. Trained in Communication Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires, he produced and hosted numerous television cycles with a cultural imprint on the channels Canal á, TV Pública, Encuentro, and Pakapaka. He has created multiple radio cycles on a dozen stations and hosts 'Qué Importa' daily on Splendid AM990 radio. He has been with Alejandro Dolina for almost two decades in their classic program 'La Venganza Será Terrible,' with theatrical performances in Argentina, Uruguay, and Spain. 'His uncontrollable vocation for surprising was immediately apparent to me.'
