«La muchacha de las bragas de oro» is the novel by Spanish writer Juan Marsé, published by Editorial Planeta in paperback (200 pages, in Spanish).
Luys Forest, an ageing falangist writer in decline, rewrites his memoirs to turn his vulgar past into something novelistic. Forest's niece, Mariana, nicknamed the girl with the golden panties, confronts him with a cynical and raw voice. The work moves from political satire to an ambiguous, ghostly territory, with echoes of Borges and Henry James.
Premio Planeta 1978; the cover indicates 470,000 copies. Edition from Planeta's Colección Popular.
