El Viejo Rivers

The old man Rivers is an ancient editor who loves "good taste" above all else, and no one desires less to publish texts with obscene words or overly-realistic subjects. He also loves the social life in New York and the dinners that invite widows of ambassadors and socialites of all types. This short story is a stupendous satire about the editorial world and the ferocity of New York social life in the 1930s.
