Summary/Abstract: Buenos Aires and Paris, these are two cities that obsess two famous Argentine authors: Ernesto Sábato and Julio Cortázar (the two of them spent enough time in both places). For the former, Buenos Aires is the total metropolis (because it is twofold: physical and psychical, above ground and underground); for the latter, Paris is the total metropolis because it is circumscribed in a never-ending quest both for love and for an inner, intangible, not to be found Grail.
