Book, Night with Sabrina Love, Uma[LS]

First novel by the author of A uruguaia, a mix of a “road movie” and a formative novel. Every night, young Daniel Montero locks himself in his room to watch the Sabrina Love Show, a TV program featuring the most popular porn actress of the moment. When he wins a draw to spend a night with Sabrina in Buenos Aires, he will have not just one first time, but several: the trip along Argentine roads, the discovery of sex, the perception of human hypocrisy, the knowledge of love. A brilliant debut by Pedro Mairal, this novel allows us to preview the qualities — the light prose, the narrative full of vivacity and the empathetic construction of the characters — of A uruguaia.
