Gillermo Piro himself told about his magazine:…Gargantua magazine. La Gente que Lee was born at the end of 1999 in the city of Buenos Aires, in an exhibition of paintings by Adolfo Nigro. Gregorio Gordon, in addition to being a successful businessman, was a great collector of Argentine art in general and of works by Adolfo Nigro in particular. In those years, he also edited the Classic magazine, directed by Diego Fischerman. Guillermo Piro, director of Gargantúa, maintains that Gordon, by default, used to present his small victories as big failures, so, chatting, he talked about all the money he was losing with Clásica, to which it occurred to me to ask him if he had no want to lose more money. The proposal disturbed him, because he asked me what I meant, and I explained that I had in mind a book magazine with at least two particularities: the size (it had to be 43 x 67 cm) and a spinal column, called ' Latest news from Babel ', in which fragments of the writers' speeches in the press around the world would be quoted verbatim. And so it was done .The first issue appeared in October 2000 and aspired to be a literary critic magazine, which it was, but not exclusively. He also published some rare unpublished interviews (Chandler interviewed by Fleming, Godard by Le Clézio). The general functioning was that of any literary magazine of the time: it paid attention to the news (it even put the readers to a vote and decreed the winning book of the month), made among friends, but in absolute solitude. In the fourth issue (February-March 2001) the magazine changed its format ( We hoped that buses, subways, trains and airplanes would adapt their living conditions and internal legibility to the dimensions and use of Gargantua. It would have been a splendid example of heterogenesis of the aims: to make a literary magazine to obtain the improvement of the means of transport ) and launched a proposal, also unpublished, entitled: Do you want to publish? Pay , in which readers were invited to send texts to the newsroom specifying how much they were willing to pay to be published. The magazine's management would read them, and if they accepted them, they would be published for free. If - as is much more likely - we don't like it, we will go and see how much they are willing to spend to publish it, and if the offer exceeds the others, we will plant it on the page. If we do not like what they wrote, and if the offer they made is low, we give them another possibility: we will randomly extract some writings from those that came to us and we will publish them anyway. If neither the quality nor the quantity nor the good luck help them, my friends, it will be better if they dedicate themselves to something else . It was never possible to find out where such a proposal would have led; that was the last issue of the magazine. CodMK.
