Long After Midnight at the Nino Bien: A Yanqui's Missteps in Argentina
by Brian Winter

This is the story of the world's sexiest dance, from its origins among gauchos, pimps and immigrants in the booming 1880s, to its modern-day rebirth in the decadent salons of Buenos Aires. A young American reporter moves to Argentina on a whim and struggles to learn the tango by night, while by day covering a country in the grip of a mysterious crisis of street riots and revolution. In a book that is part travelogue, part history, the author becomes immersed in a dark underworld, visiting old dance salons, brothels and shacks on the dusty Pampa, searching for the tango's shady origins in the hope that understanding may help him dance better. Along the way, he discovers that the tango, with its tales of jealousy, melodrama, and lost glory, may hold the secret to the country that is inexplicably disintegrating before his eyes.
