Corazón tan blanco

"I didn't want to know, but I did know that one of the girls, when she was no longer a child and had not long returned from her honeymoon, went into the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, opened her blouse , she took off her bra and searched for her heart with the point of the gun...". This is the already legendary beginning of a contemporary classic, Corazón tan blanco, whose protagonist and narrator, Juan Ranz, always prefers not to know, aware of how dangerous it is to listen: ears have no eyelids, and what reaches them is no longer heard. forget. A translator and interpreter by profession, he is now the newlywed, and on his own honeymoon, in Havana, leaning out on the balcony, he is confused by a stranger waiting on the street, and inadvertently overhears a hotel conversation. From then on "feelings of disaster" will surround his marriage. But the key to that discomfort may be in the past, since his father had to marry three times so that he could be born.
