I am looking for a book on tango that is not a tango
technique book, but is more about the history and
culture of the Argentine tango. I would appreciate
any recommendations.

You may find this new novel of interest:
Marina Palmer takes us inside her world and the world of the tango,
bringing it alive and evidencing how following your passion and not
being afraid to take risks in your personal and professional lives can
lead to happiness."
- Mireille Guiliano, New York Times bestselling author of French
Women Don't Get Fat
What's your secret passion? Painting? Scuba diving? Cooking?
Traveling? What if you threw caution to the wind and gave up your
nine-to-five job (and your Monday morning blues) to pursue it?
Marina Palmer, a successful advertising executive in New York, did
just that. Approaching the anxiety laden age of thirty, Marina had no
real passion in her life-in either the boardroom or the bedroom.
Until, she took a whimsical winter vacation to Buenos Aires, and fell
in love...with the tango.
KISS & TANGO (William Morrow/An imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers,
On-sale July 5, 2005) is the true-life story of how Marina traded in
her pumps for tango shoes. Fueled by tango addiction, the hope of
romancing a sultry porteno and a one-way ticket to Buenos Aires,
Palmer arrived in Argentina to pursue a place on the professional
tango circuit. Filled with Marina's exhilarating misadventures both on
and off the dance floor, KISS & TANGO is full of adventure, romance,
heartbreak, and steamy sex.
Since its revival in Scent of a Woman and the celebrated independent
film Shall We Dance, tango fever has swept the world. The
international smash hit "Forever Tango" is back on Broadway, and
milongas (tango clubs) and tango associations have sprung up around
the world-from New York, to Paris, to Berlin. Marina was there at the
start of the trend and can explain the fervor of the milongueras
(tango enthusiasts) behind the craze.
KISS & TANGO also offers quintessential armchair traveling to one of
the hottest spots on the globe-Buenos Aires. While Argentina is still
recovering from its economic crash of 2001, the sharp drop in the
value of the peso has lead tourists to flock to "the Paris of South
America," to sample its tango, sophisticated restaurants, museums and
fabulous shopping. Marina's first-hand account illustrates why this
far-flung locale is so hot, hot, hot.
In addition, in a guiltily delicious tell-all style, KISS & TANGO
addresses the problem of many thirty-something women today-the
not-always-fruitful search for love. A real-life version of the
heroines of Sex & the City, Marina is a proactive woman who sets out
to make things happen. Instead of envying her married friends or
waiting for "happiness" to find her, she sets out to discover instead
what happiness-for her-actually means.
A whirlwind of tango, travel, and tumultuous nights, KISS & TANGO is
an empowering story of a woman who wasn't happy to settle for a desk
job and lonely nights, and instead decided to dance.
