«Rosa, ce soir» is the mystery novel by Marco Denevi, published by Joëlle Losfeld in paperback (226 pages, in French).
Camilo Canegato, a picture restorer, lives in a Buenos Aires boarding house run by a widow and her three daughters. Shy and mocked, his relationship with the young Rosa, revealed through correspondence, leads to a tragic wedding. A mystery with a double reading, black humour, that doles out the intrigue to a surprising denouement.
The novel was originally published in Spanish as «Rosaura a las diez» in 1955 and won the Kraft Prize that same year; this French edition appeared in 2000 with a translation by Jean-Marie Saint-Lu.
Suitable for readers of crime and classic mystery fiction, as well as those who follow twentieth-century Latin American literature.
Marco Denevi was an Argentine author of novels, short stories, and plays, as well as a lawyer and journalist. His work is characterized by its originality and depth, as well as a criticism of human incompetence.
