Jaime Bayly, periodista, escritor, nino terrible de la television, bisexual, divorciado, padre de dos hijas, con novio fuera del closet, se enamora repentinamente de Lucia Santamaria, una estudiante de psicologia de apenas veinte anos que suena con ser una escritora maldita.
Nadie parece entender a Bayly: ?como es posible que un cuarenton casi gay, con novio desde hace anos y dos hijas encarinadas con este, anuncie de pronto en television que se ha enamorado de una joven de la que podria ser el padre y poco despues haga alarde de que esta embarazada? Nadie parece entender a Lucia: ?como es posible que una joven de veinte anos, la mas bonita del colegio, la mas bonita de la universidad, perseguida por los chicos mas guapos, con aires de nina mala, se enamore de un hombre con fama de gay que podria ser su padre?
Esta novela cuenta la historia de un amor improbable y escandaloso, el del nino terrible y la escritora maldita, que parecen padre e hija, viejo verde y lolita insaciable, quienes, nadando a contracorriente, estan dispuestos a dinamitarlo todo (los afectos familiares, los intereses economicos, la reputacion, el poder, los amores convenientes) para entregarse, suicidas, al abismo de una pasion que no se espera ni se entiende, y que, al mismo tiempo, no parece posible evitar.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Jaime Bayly writer, journalist, television’s terrible kid, bisexual, divorced, father of two daughters, who now has a boyfriend, suddenly falls in love with Lucia Santamaria, a twenty-year-old psychology student who dreams of being a cursed writer.
Nobody seems to understand Bayly: how is it possible that an almost gay man in his forties, who’s had a boyfriend for years and has two daughters who adore him, can suddenly announce on live television that he has fallen in love with a young woman who could be his daughter and shortly after flaunt the fact that she’s pregnant? No one seems to understand Lucia: how is it possible that a twenty-year-old girl, the prettiest in school, the prettiest in her college, who has been pursued by the most handsome boys, who is somewhat of a bad girl, could fall in love with a man who is known for being gay and who could be her father?
This novel tells the story of an improbable and scandalous love, that of a famous writer and TV personality and a wanna-be cursed writer, who look like father and daughter, a dirty old man and insatiable Lolita, who are ready to set everything up in flames (family affections, economic interests, reputation, power, suitable loves) to surrender to the abyss of a passion that is not expected or understood, and that, at the same time, does not seem possible to avoid.
