«Sangre de amor correspondido» is the novel by Manuel Puig, published by Seix Barral in paperback (208 pages, in Spanish).
In a remote town of rural Brazil, adult memory reconstructs a story of adolescent love marked by desire. The fragmented narration alternates the arid present with the golden age of first love and reveals the disguises with which memory covers the past: it is both a celebration of first love and an elegy for years that perhaps never existed.
First edition, published in Barcelona in 1982, within the Nueva Narrativa Hispánica collection.
For readers of literary fiction interested in Latin American narrative and in stories of memory and desire.
