Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Gabriel Barrios vive en Lima y se escapa de vez en cuando a Miami, a sus orgías de shopping. Es un amoral hijo maldito de la burguesía acomodada; el chico famoso de la tele, el único que en una de sus imprevisibles entrevistas se atrevió a llamar loco a un presidente de la república. También es gay, aunque no le son indiferentes las chicas guapas. Una noche Gabriel conoce a Mariano, el líder de un grupo musical poco conocido, y piensa que quizás no sea imposible ser gay y feliz, y vivir en Lima. Irónica e irreverente, la novela está escrita con un deslumbrante oído para todas las jergas y los idiomas de la calle, en un riquísimo y crepitante castellano que se constituye en auténtico protagonista de la novela.

About the Author
Jaime Bayly (Lima, 1965) ha trabajado como presentador de televisión en Lima, Santo Domingo y Miami. Está considerado como uno de los más atractivos narradores jóvenes de la literatura hispanoamericana. Premio Herralde de Novela.

5.0 out of 5 stars Patetico pero sencillamente extraordinario!, September 26, 2001
By Javier Melendez (Hollywood Hills, CA United States) - See all my reviews
La Noche es Virgen es una obra maestra de Jaime Bayly. El libro es espeluznante, interesante, muy comico. Su abundancia en grocerias populares nos hacen recordar con carino los hermosos barrios de la Lima que se fue y por supuesto, a nuestra juventud en un pais tercer mundista que esta lleno de acomplejados y mediocres que nunca saldran adelante. Digo esto ya que estuve leyendo las criticas destructivas de aquellos lectores que poseen un vocabulario muy fluido y lo utilizan para aplastar a sus semejantes, a esos gusanos me refiero. La Noche es Virgen es un gran libro para todos los lectores con mente muy abierta.

3.0 out of 5 stars Along the same lines as his other novels, April 11, 2004
This one like most of his novels reveals themes such as: homosexuality, an inner view of the upper class in Peru and a basic overview of the difficulty one experiences living in a typical Latin American city laden with poverty, crime, filth, drugs (cocaine) and people who live on the street at best with very little hope for the future. In comparison to two of his previous novels- No se lo digas a nadie and Fue ayer y no me acuerdo, this book is the most serene of the three but deals with the same issues. The characters are well developed and Gabriel, the protagonist is a typical Jaime Bayly character. He is gay and suffers throughout the novel due to the fact that his desires are repressed and, as result is frustrated and struggles with his family, life etc. There is satirical humor throughout this novel and is carefully revealed through the dialogue and local jargon.

La noche es virgen is an easy read and if you like Jaime B's style of literature you may find the book excellent to read. Personally, I thought the book was good but Jaime B needs to diversify. All his books have the same principal themes (even the newer ones such as La mujer de mi hermano). He is a great author of contemporary Spanish literature but needs to move on. Also I found the book hard to read because there are no capitals.
