Arturo Cancela

The focus of Cancela's literary work was humorous and satirical prose. His most successful launch was the collection of short stories Tres relatos porteños ("El cocobacilo de Herrlin", "Una semana de holgorio" –based on the Tragic Week– and "El culto de los héroes"),^[1] in which he describes life in Buenos Aires. He frequently collaborated with Pilar de Lusarreta, his wife. He also authored a number of plays.
