Another post that was pending is the onde corresponding to session seven.
In this case I will write about a book that I like very much. This book is called "Tengo miedo torero" and it was written by Pedro Lemebel. This novel tells the history of love between two men during the dictatorship in Chile. The protagonist is a homosexual who has had a very hard life, but everything change when he meets a young student who was part of the "Frente Patriótico Manuel Rodríguez". The two men live a love story, but finally, when the young man must escape from Chile, this history ends whit the madwoman in front alone in Chile. The name of the book refers to the password that the men established to communicate without being detected by the police. It was the lyrics of a song that the madwoman in front liked. This novels tells the story of love in times to dictatorship, and also tells the harsh history of the country during those days, and those who resisted in hiding.
"Tengo miedo torero" is a brave book, written by a break-up author that has marked my life as a reader.
