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; Sebastián, 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.

Description in Spanish: Cuando no merecemos la oportunidad de pedir disculpas, las cartas nos hacen creer que podemos recuperar a los amigos que perdimos. Manuel es un hombre solo, ha perdido a sus amigos porque fue egoísta, porque se inspiró en ellos para escribir unas novelas que lo hicieron famoso pero que lo condenaron a la indiferen¬cia y al silencio de aquellos a quienes ahora echa de menos. Estas son las cartas que escribe a los amigos que recupera en la fantasía: Melanie, con quien vivió algo más que una amistad; Daniel, que le enseñó a bailar, peinarse y visitar prostíbulos; Sebastián, el guapo actor con quien mantuvo una aventura secre¬ta; su tocayo Manuel, quien también soñaba con ser escritor; y el doctor Guerra, personaje aristocrático que lo inició en el amor a los libros, el periodismo y los paseos sosegados por el parque del Retiro en Madrid.

ESTA MUY BIEN

Este libro me parecio bueno, no asi excelente.Yo he leido libros de Baily mucho mejores, como "La noche es virgen".Lo que si no entiendo es como gente de su pais, Peru, utilice este medio para hablar tan mal de su paisano, ¿quizas sienten odio por la forma en que Baily expresa las verdades sobre Peru en sus novelas?.Por favor, sus compatriotas usen otros medios para hablar mal del escritor, pero no este.El escritor que no saca criticas de su pais (aunque sean minimas)no es buen escritor.Repito, este libro me gusto.En el, a traves de unas cartas que no llegan a su destino, el protagonista siente con nostalgia la perdida de esos amigos que se supone que el perdio.Incluso, ahonda muy bien su bisexualidad.

Definitely not one of Jaime Bayly's bests.

This is an interesting book by Jaime Bayly in the sense that it's just a serious of confessions in the form of letters that were written to various people who were a part of his life at one point of time and in the letters he expresses repent, sorrow, sentimental feelings etc. The book comes across as one in which Jaime Bayly once again reveals the intimacies and at this point complexities of his life. However, what are consistent in this book and others of his that I have read are his language skills and his unique way of expressing himself, which I think, is his strongest attribute. In a nutshell, this is a book with no real plot and the letters written to various friends he once had do not necessarily relate to each other. If you like Jaime Bayly it may be a worthwhile read otherwise you may want to read his other more credible works such as: Yo amo a mi mami and No se lo digas a nadie.

Por cierto, no es el mejor Bayly.

Se puede leer, pero es reiterativo, nada original. Como el título, hemos conocido obras mejores de Jaime Bayly. Esperemos que vuelva a las fuentes.
