Abstract
The article discusses the role of tango in the novel «Heartbreak Tango» by the Argentinean writer M. Puig. The purpose of the study is to determine how tango manifests itself in the text of the novel and what role it plays in its plot and artistic system. It was revealed that all three elements of tango (music, dance and text) are present in the novel. The significance of the epigraphs is emphasized because the citation of well-known tangos and boleros allows not only to establish intratextual connections, but also brings the author's point of view into the work. It is concluded that the tango, penetrating the text of the work, reveals the inner world of the characters and the author's intention.
