The paper analyzes the narrative text of the Argentinian writer Bernard Kordon, whose common feature is the presence of marginalized people and places, typical of Buenos Aires in the 50's and 60's of the last century. The writer narrates and describes (through the narrator and through the other characters) in a realistic way, which is not accusing or criticizing, but wants to show a variety of everyday situations, even with the use of a simple and sometimes coarse language. The heroes are mostly members of low-or middle-class and represent a way of life of a large part of the population of the Buenos Aires in that historical period
