South America's capital of stage and pitch. Buenos Aires's notables are split almost evenly between footballers and actors, with a long secondary tail of writers, journalists, tango composers, and militares — a profile that looks more European than Latin American, with the film and lawyer benches thick enough to fill their own shelves. The modern names dominate, but the literary tradition of Borges and Bioy Casares still anchors the older half.
