Malas lenguas

Someone reads a biography and lingers on the name of a minor character, one who will hardly reappear. For the reader, however, that name is the thread that unravels a complex web, full of secrets and unspeakable double meanings, connecting to an unheard-of beyond. Narrated by a sharp voice, capable of the worst cynicism and the most heartbreaking frankness, Malas lenguas (Bad Tongues) is a bitter comedy, at once frivolous and impassioned, about the tortuous art of recounting a life in a world marked by self-interest, a lack of scruples, and the most outlandish forms of sexual promiscuity.
