Las damiselas y el escritor

Ramiro Pinilla's widow commissions a journalist to interview the women her husband met over the years. She wants to uncover unknown aspects of his life, but above all, she wishes to quell her retrospective jealousy, as many of these women were his friends and confidantes when they were young. Little by little, the conversations with these "ladies" not only reveal unexpected stories but also, like a kaleidoscope, complete his biography, confirming his magnetic, welcoming, free-spirited, and brilliant personality. When the widow gives the biographer her own diaries, the portrait is completed in an unforgettable way. With this ironic and surprising structure, this novel moves the reader at the intersection of testimony and recreation, of lived experience and recollection.
