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.
