«Plegarias atendidas» is the literary fiction novel by Truman Capote, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (192 pages, in Spanish).
The novel narrates the rise of a young man who escapes an orphanage and, with cunning and no morality, prospers as a masseur until moving among the social elite. As a confidant and chronicler, he portrays with irony the excesses of the jet set; the text is a roman à clef in which figures such as Tennessee Williams and Greta Garbo are recognized.
Volume 105 of the Compactos collection. Sixth edition (2006), with translation by Ángel Luis Hernández Francés. Posthumous and unfinished novel.
