La Salamandra - Pedro Antonio Valdéz - Bog

Es verano y un poeta fracasado de origen dominicano, encargado de una tienda de videos en Nueva York, vive una rocambolesca relación sentimental con la supuesta ciudadana estadounidense Samantha Ritz. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION During the summer, an unsuccessful poet of Dominican descent in charge of a video store in New York lives an incredible romance with a woman named Samantha Ritz. The attractive redhead--and alleged American citizen--falls for him after attending a poetry reading of the work "La Salamandra." Finely woven into the plot are references to varied--and for all appearances, distant--literary families: the picaresque novel, Hispanic contemporary crime, the novel of Hispanic migration to the US; all spiced with artifices unique to magic realism.
