In Sunday’s Los Angeles Times Book Review, Susan Salter Reynolds reviews a new travel memoir, “Kiss & Tango: Looking for Love in Buenos Aires,” by Marina Palmer.
The book chronicles the author’s move from New York to Buenos Aires, where she takes up tango dancing, studying the moves by day and hitting the tango clubs by night, hoping to become a professional dancer. Salter Reynolds likes the book. “Palmer’s effervescence is so contagious that a reader feels she has actually lived the life (hangovers and all),” she writes (scroll down one item on the page). “Armchair tango. Now that’s escape.”
