«Los últimos días de "La Prensa"» is the novel by Peruvian writer Jaime Bayly, published in 1996 by Seix Barral in paperback (357 pages, in Spanish).
A satirical and burlesque chronicle of Lima journalism told through an adolescent who, in a sordid and absurd context, learns about life and discovers love. Between humour and absurdity, it portrays the decline of Peru's upper class and the misery of the journalistic trade, with irony and moral and social criticism.
The work is the third novel published by Jaime Bayly; in 1999 it received the San Clemente Prize in the Lingua castelá category.
For readers of Latin American fiction who appreciate social satire and humour.
