Description: Which Dominican radio show host was the boyfriend of President Kennedy's daughter? Who is the singer that led the most selective group of lesbians in the country? Which tragedy inspired the merengue song "El Pajaro Herido", sung by Fausto Rey? How many honorables did Jesusita La Maipiola serve with prostitutes? The third novella from Freddy Ortiz has a strong erotic charge. It takes place between Spain and the Dominican Republic, beginning in the days of the revolution of April of 1965. Readers belonging to the author's generation will be tempted to identify the characters, places and stories with reality, although Ortiz states that the narrative "does not represent the historical facts", and he defines this book as belonging to the Anti-Art, for its unusual literary dares that cross conventional literary borders. In plain fun, the reader will reach the book's climax where the main character "pops out" of the work, to offer the reader four options that will allow him or her to re-write it according to their favorite ending. Later comes the conclusion. An intense novel from start to finish!
