Santiago de Chile in the 1980s, amid police charges and protests for the disappeared under Pinochet's dictatorship. The novel follows the relationship between the Loca del Frente, a gay man, and a young militant involved in an attack on the dictator, whom he helps. Lemebel blends the intimate and the collective in prose that echoes boleros and songs from another era.

Why people still read it
The publisher counts it among the most important recent Latin American novels and points to how it cracks open the way Chile's past is told.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
