Hardback. Zustand: Good. Julián Beltrán es un escritor que nunca limpia su casa. Cuando Andrea, su novia, le exige que lo haga, él decide contratar a una mucama . Y la llegada de Mercedes, una criada envejecida y fiel, va a despertar la ternura y el instinto de protección del hombre. Ella le cuenta como fue vendida a los diez años por una madre cargada de hijos a los que no podía mantener, y entonces el escritor siente la necesidad de ayudar a Mercedes a encontrar a su madre. Pero la búsqueda estará llena de azares y de episodios cómicos, a la vez que dejará al descubierto al auténtico y frágil Julián, distanciado también de su padre, aunque por motivos bien diferentes pero a los que se deberá enfrentar. Esta historia de una amistad improbable y de reencuentros familiares constituye el relato más brillante de Jaime Bayly, que nos cautiva desde el primer momento por su insólita habilidad para ir de lo grave a lo hilarante.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Jaime Bayly, periodista, escritor, niño terrible de la televisión, bisexual, divorciado, padre de dos hijas, con novio fuera del clóset, se enamora repentinamente de Lucía Santamaría, una estudiante de psicología de apenas veinte años que sueña con ser una escritora maldita. Nadie parece entender a Bayly: ¿cómo es posible que un cuarentón casi gay, con novio desde hace años y dos hijas encariñadas con este, anuncie de pronto en televisión que se ha enamorado de una joven de la que podría ser el padre y poco después haga alarde de que está embarazada? Nadie parece entender a Lucía: ¿cómo es posible que una joven de veinte años, la más bonita del colegio, la más bonita de la universidad, perseguida por los chicos más guapos, con aires de niña mala, se enamore de un hombre con fama de gay que podría ser su padre? Esta novela cuenta la historia de un amor improbable y escandaloso, el del niño terrible y la escritora maldita, que parecen padre e hija, viejo verde y lolita insaciable, quienes, nadando a contracorriente, están dispuestos a dinamitarlo todo (los afectos familiares, los intereses económicos, la reputación, el poder, los amores convenientes) para entregarse, suicidas, al abismo de una pasión 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 Lucía Santamaría, 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.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. En su cuarta novela, ganadora del Premio Herralde de Novela, Bayly, personal y provocativo, vuelve a una historia sobre ser gay en Lima y sobrevivir en el intento. Gabriel Barrios, el protagonista, es un chico de buena familia que escapa a Miami en cuanto puede pero acaba siempre regresando a su trabajo en la television limenal. Cuando conoce a Mariano, un joven cantante de rock, a Gabriel se le ocurre que, quizas, es posible vivir, ser gay, y feliz en Lima. A partir de ahi se desenvuelve una historia de noches de virginidad, desenfreno, sordidez, deseo y dolor que lo sacuden todo, desde la ortografia, hasta las diferencias de clase, con una excepcional perspectiva del placer. Una novela breve, brillante y atrevida.

And yet, Lima is home: he loves the city even though it smells like onions and makes him cry, this is where he belongs.

Eso sent mir ndote en el bar. Permaneciste en silencio y, cuando termin de hablar, me dijiste, con deliberada indiferencia, que no hab as le do mis libros ni los pensabas leer. Me qued helado. No me esperaba esa respuesta. Me doli . ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Manuel is a single man. He lives in a big house in one of Miami's neighboring islands. He stands there, absorbed in his thoughts, watching as lizards fall in a pool and hoping for the phone to ring; but it won't ring. Manuel has lost those friends whom he wishes would call. He lost them because of his selfishness, because they were his inspiration for the novels that made him famous and at the same time, condemned him to the indifference and the silence of those he now misses. This is a collection of letters to the friends he betrayed by divulging their innermost secrets, dreams and sexual orientations. These are the letters Manuel writes to those friends he regains only in his imagination: Melanie, with whom he had more than a friendship; Daniel, who thought him to dance and visit brothels; Sebasti n, the handsome actor with whom he maintained a secret affair; his friend Manuel, who also dreamt of being a writer; and Dr. Guerra, an aristocrat who thought him the love for books, journalism and strolls through the Parque del Retiro in Madrid.…
