His father taught him philosophy, once using a chessboard to explain Zeno's paradox, and his mother, who would live to see 99, was a strong woman who would one day travel around the world with her son.
He established a friendship with a local poet, his neighbor EvaristoCarriego, a reckless man who represented much of the "sentimental machismo" of Argentine tradition and would become something of a minor idol to the young dreamer.
