Últimas noches del edificio San Francisco
LII Premio de Novela Ateneo de Sevilla
Riestra, Blanca
In 1957, Tangier is already a sick flower. The foreign colony mistrusts the end of the privileges of the international zone, and is reluctant to abandon its free life. While William Burroughs finishes off the Wild Lunch in his room at the Muniria Hotel, the Bowles sleep with their Moroccan servants, knowing that they are fleecing them. Barbara Huttton celebrates her umpteenth divorce at Dar Hosni, her home to the Kasbah. Francis Bacon goes every night to listen to his lover, who plays the piano at Dean's bar. Carmen Aribau, the first winner on the planet, arrives in Tangier to separate from her husband. But at the same time, other things happen: a good girl grows up and falls in love, a poor boy spies on a naked woman, a twenty-year-old man vows to learn to read and succeeds. Several teenagers stroll through the brothels, play Russian roulette and dress up as women. Generals and extraperlists smoke hashish in bars and argue. Burroughs writes, Bowles writes, everyone writes. Only Jane and Carmen cannot write, something does not let them, they then flirt with the night and with death.
