Description
PUTAS OS QUIERO (WHORES, I LOVE YOU)
Book Summary
Hernán Migoya concludes his satirical trilogy with a collection of stories that challenge the limits of humor and provocation. Through extreme situations exploring tabloid television, social hypocrisy, desire, and political correctness, the author constructs a mosaic of uncomfortable and brilliant fictions. This volume, published for the 20th anniversary of Todas putas, invites the reader to reflect on creative freedom in an era marked by the control of discourse and prevailing morality.
What is it about?
The book brings together a series of short stories that start from extreme and often grotesque premises to explore the contradictions of contemporary society. From a homosexual presenter who adopts a Black baby to improve his ratings, to a rapist who publicly questions the government's anti-sexual abuse campaign, each story functions as a narrative experiment. Other stories address a lawyer's confession about a rape committed by his mother-in-law, the macabre desire of a child in rural Spain, a young girl's vision of pets in romantic relationships, or the possibility that fetuses could communicate their desire to be born. With an acerbic and provocative tone, Migoya uses satire as a tool to dismantle taboos and highlight the fragility of established discourses.

Editorial Review
Hernán Migoya demonstrates, once again, his mastery in the art of literary provocation. Putas os quiero is not a book for all audiences, but it is for those who value creative freedom above consensus. His stories, uncomfortable and brilliant, function as a distorting mirror of our reality, capable of generating laughter, indignation, and reflection in equal measure. A brave and necessary work in times of monolithic thinking.
