About This Item
Tabasco, Mexico. 1976. Editorial Joaquin Mortiz. Reprinted Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. . 347 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Literature Mexico Latin America . FROM THE PUBLISHER - IN SPANISH - The Princess is a sales girl in Mexico City's largest department store. Funny and warm, wacky, contradictory, graceful, and poignant, she talks her way into our hearts with an outrageous voice that speaks in the universal idiom of adolescence. Like the rest of the world, she is on the make, and becoming a model is the first step on the ladder. A modern-day Scheherazade, she regales us with stories of escapades that involve family, friends, lovers, and enemies. This book is a world in miniature, and a marvelous assortment of colorful characters people its pages: Carmelita Longlegs, Handsome to the Maximum, Loco Valdiosera, and Dressed Like a Man. The monologue of the Princess brings gossip, memories, pop icons, anecdotes, and digressions into a dizzying labyrinth of liaisons, intrigues, couplings, births, and deaths. Tuning in to the magic of her talk, we come to share the gritty essentials of her young existence-her laughter, her exhilarations, her dreams, and her heartbreak. inventory #45113
