Synopsis "Solitario de Amor (in Spanish)"

Intensamente lírica y de alto vuelo erótico, esta es una de las grandes novelas sobre el amor escritas en nuestra lengua. Una obra sobre la pasión, narrada desde la soledad e imposibilidad de poseer el cuerpo amado. Cada capítulo es una instantánea de Aída y la adoración sin límites del narrador, obsesionado con su cuerpo, gestos, olores, secreciones, vísceras, palabras. Una pasión similar a la del cero amando con rabiosa desesperación al infinito. Dosis mayores de esa droga dura serán cada vez más necesarias para saciar su adicción en un mundo hostil al amor. “Nunca quise ser el sueño de ningún hombre: yo soy mi propio sueño.”
