New York. 1962. February 1962. Knopf. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Small Pieces Missing. Translated from the Spanish by Jose Yglesias. 213 pages. hardcover. Jacket Design By Vincent Torre. keywords: Literature Translated Spain. FROM THE PUBLISHER-In this seductively entertaining novel Juan Goytisolo tells of eleven nights and days in the lives of the idle rich who throng the newly neon-lighted shores of the Spanish coast. The international set summering at Torremolinos is made up of the kind of people who might be found today beside the swimming pools of Las Vegas or the beaches of St. Tropez. Narrating the novel through Claudia, the wife of a successful journalist, and focusing particularly on the females who surround her, Goytisolo presents a spectacle of no-longer-young women who have abused body and emotion and in their insatiable hunger have emasculated their partner's. Their antics are outrageous, but Goytisolo recounts them with a steely hardness that reflects how mechanical their pursuit of pleasure has become. As a relentless critic of fascist Spain, Goytisolo directs some subtle barbs at a society that provides too much luxury for the few and nothing of value for a generation that has lost its ideals. The novels of Juan Goytisolo have given American readers a sharply focused picture of what life in Franco Spain is-to middle class youth in THE YOUNG ASSASSINS, to the hopeless poor in FIESTAS, and now to the decadent rich, inventory #7583.
