A Thousand Times away

Abstract

The text is a short story in which a relationship emerges within the socioeconomic context of a rural town in Argentina in the mid-1980s. The country was —and still is— deeply divided by issues of class and racism. The protagonists of this story are immersed in these unequal structures and navigate their psychological and emotional ups and downs in a peculiar way. A very popular song inspired both the title and the story.
