★Fogwill became known as an author of short stories and short stories, a field in which he was an undisputed master of Argentine literature in the last part of the 20th century. His first books were My Dead Punk and Birds of the Head, published in the early 1980s. Alfaguara now publishes, in anniversary editions, two of the titles in facsimile format, reproducing the original versions and respecting the publishing customs and habits of that inaugural moment in Fogwill's literary career.

The series includes 2 titles: My Dead Punk， Birds of the Head

There was a prize. Money: a cheque. There was another prize: an edition. The Great Publishing House would publish a book. They were predicting a Great, Publishing launch. The cheque arrived. Some days later, by mail, the Publishing Contract. "We ask you to sign it as soon as possible."，a little piece of paper read. It was read, as soon as possible, the contract: Prize or Punishment...? They called the publishing house executive manager. A literary man, a subtle man, and with a famous excellent taste. (He was one of the jury members who awarded the book). It was said: —Tell me, honey. Have you read my book? —the one writing asked. —Yes. Of course! —the one awarding swore. —And did you think —the one of the tales asked— that I would sign a contract like yours having written a book like that?... The one judging (the one awarding, the one editing) laughed. The one writing did not sign. And they remained friends: small issues of copyright cannot affect a friendship, it’s enough with build literature. The book will come out like this. The one writing had already learnt to lose, especially when you win.
