Yo amo a mi mami / I Love My Mommy - Jaime Bayly Collection - Spanish Edition
Author: Jaime Bayly

This is the story of Jimmy, a sensitive boy gifted with extraordinary powers of observation who lives a privileged yet solitary existence in a mansion in the outskirts of Lima. The son of a rich banker and a devastatingly elegant yet emotionally absent woman, whom he adores, he attends the most exclusive English school in the city and dreams of ... more »going to Disney, of one day marrying Annie, and of playing for the F.C. Barcelona. Craving his mother s attention, Jimmy grows up surrounded by the love of the army of employees at his service: cook, chauffeur, housekeeper, gardener, and butler, these unforgettable characters accompany him on the painful journey of lost innocence, and become his true family. Yo amo a mi mami is the testimony of Jaime Bayly s achievements as a writer; it is a display of his vast narrative skills. This moving story, which evokes the lost days of his childhood, glows with the particular gift reserved for great novelists, confirming the rise of one of the most original and powerful voices in the new Spanish American literature. Spanish Description: Esta es la historia de Jimmy, un nino que ama a su madre. Sensible y solitario, dotado de una singular capacidad de observacion, Jimmy vive con sus padres en una mansion en las afueras de Lima, estudia en el colegio ingles mas exclusivo de la ciudad, adora a su hermana mayor, cuya belleza ejerce sobre el una extrana fascinacion, y suena con ir a Disney en las vacaciones, promesa que le ha hecho su padre, un banquero poderoso, y, cuando sea mayor y pueda casarse con Annie, la elusiva nina que enciende sus primeras fantasias, jugar a futbol en el F.C. Barcelona, el club de sus amores. Su madre, la senora mas regia de Lima, distinguida y ausente como Jackie O, apenas tiene tiempo para complacerlo, pero Jimmy recibe en cambio los mimos, desvelos, halagos y carino de la legion de empleados que tiene a su servicio: la cocinera, el chofer, el ama de llaves, el jardinero, el mayordomo, entranables personajes con los que, al descubrir un mundo hecho de ilusiones rotas y amores desbordados, va perdiendo la inocencia, y a quienes termina queriendo como a su propia familia.

Yo amo a mi mami, es la confirmacion de que Jaime Bayly ha alcanzado una sorprendente madurez como escritor. Con esta novela tierna y conmovedora, que evoca los dias perdidos de su infancia, Bayly despliega toda su admirable destreza narrativa, brilla con ese raro don de intensidad reservado a los grandes novelistas y confirma, sin lugar a dudas, que se ha erigido en una de las voces mas originales y poderosas de la nueva literatura hispanoamericana.
