Amor propio (.)

The party, both celebration and ceremony, is the common backdrop for three stages in the life of Moncho the adolescent, Ramon the adult, and Aguilar the mature man--all the same person, during the fifteen year period that goes from 1966 to 1980. Celorio manages, through the use of an elaborate and delicious humor, to recreate not only the personal reality of Ramon Aguilar, Moncho, but also that of a whole gallery of character-types who we recognized because they talk, move, listen, and see just as we all do in this apparently festive circular ritual called life. The readers will be surprised to see how very similar the experiences of the generations who lived in the sixties and seventies were, regardless of the place where those experiences took place.
