Puta - Paperback

by Luis Blasini (Author)

A novel of heartless romance and wanton love south of the Mexican border as related by a wandering expat American. Funny, sad, and truthful in its description of his continuing quest for desire that does not desire you back, yet foolish enough to pursue it, realizing that the end result will most undoubtedly end in tragedy. A bitter sweet tale for the search for love and acceptance in it's most raw form.
