«Les larmes de Tarzan» is the contemporary fiction novel by Katarina Mazetti, published by Actes Sud in paperback (276 pages, in French).
Mariana, a single mother of two, struggles to survive financially and remembers her vanished, fanciful father. Janne, a wealthy man who drives a Lamborghini, avoids commitment and hates children. Their meeting is so chaotic that he nicknames her Tarzan. The novel tells with irony and sharp humour whether two people separated by a social abyss can love each other and defy conventions.
Work translated from Swedish by Lena Grumbach and Catherine Marcus, published in the Babel collection by Actes Sud.
Recommended for readers seeking a bittersweet romantic comedy with social critique, in the style of «El hombre de la tumba de al lado».
