Items related to ¿Qué me quieres, amor?
Each short story of this book is a magic spell crafted with the indisputable rhythm and sensibility that are hallmarks of Galician author Manuel Rivas. The title ¿Qué me quieres, amor? stems from the story of a lover who abruptly changes his life after a bank robbery. Love pervades the characters of other stories, including the father who goes to work each night worried where his son has spent the night, our childhood recollection of our mother who ineffably resembles a milkmaid that Dutch painter Vermeer depicted in 1660, Carmiña's most carnal love before the awkward presence of her dog Tarzan, and the compassionate love that the readers begin to feel for the old rural teacher in the "Butterfly's Tongue," a short story magnificently adapted to the movies.
Blurb in Spanish:
Cada cuento de este libro es un hechizo urdido por el indiscutible ritmo y sensibilidad de Manuel Rivas. Da nombre a la obra la historia de un enamorado que cambia definitivamente su vida con el atraco a un banco. En otros relatos es también el amor el protagonista indefinido: el amor del padre que va a trabajar con la preocupación de no saber cómo ni dónde ha pasado su hijo la noche; el amor a la madre, de inefable semejanza, en el recuerdo infantil, a la lechera pintada por Vermeer en 1660; el amor más carnal de Carmiña, con la incómoda presencia de su perro Tarzán; o -¿por qué no?- el amor compasivo que llega a sentir el lector por el viejo profesor rural de "La lengua de las mariposas", historia que ha sido adaptada al cine por José Luis Cuerda y Rafael Azcona.
