Juego de espejos

Love is the gaze of the lover, not the beloved. When an established writer meets Andrea, a young poet in her early twenties, she discovers with astonishment that the passage of time has not diminished the intensity of her capacity to love. But what begins as a sweeping passion soon becomes a much deeper exploration: that of desire and jealousy, memory and the body, power and fragility, youth and maturity. With absolute mastery in character development and dialogue, and prose of extraordinary freedom, philosophical reflection, eroticism, literature, film, and memories intertwine seamlessly in one of Cristina Peri Rossi's most intimate and ambitious novels.
