Néstor Perlongher was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in the neighborhood of Avellaneda in 1949. He was a poet, sociologist, anthropologist, Trotskyist militant, then a libertarian and one of the main referents of the Homosexual Liberation Front in Argentina in the 1970s. In January 1976 he was arrested and criminally prosecuted, his arrest and prosecution also marks the end of the FLHA's activity, and the beginning of that long silence of seven years that is established in Argentina during the coup d'etat.
In 1981 he graduated as a sociologist from the University of Buenos Aires and moved to São Paulo, Brazil. There he completed his Master's degree in Social Anthropology at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP), where he also taught in 1985.
He was an animator of the neo-baroque ("neo-barroco" in Spanish) literature of the Rio de la Plata, a style that he called "neo-barroso" since, according to his explanation, in that writing the baroque was fused with the mud ("barro" in Spanish) of the Rio de la Plata.
On November 26, 1992, Néstor Perlongher died in São Paulo from a generalized septicemia caused by AIDS that he had been suffering from for some years.
