Synopsis "Gigola (in Spanish)"
Tired of her medical studies and still reeling from her lover's suicide, Laure seeks refuge in alcohol, refuses love, and sets out on a dangerous and exciting journey into the depths of the Pigalle neighborhood's nightlife in 1960s Paris. Soon she becomes Gigola, a young androgynous garçonne, attractive because of her rebelliousness—short hair, cane in hand, and dressed in a black velvet smoking jacket—and who expresses her defiance by selling her body. This barrier-breaking novel, a pioneer for current feminist tendencies, faithfully portrays the garçonne phenomenon that defined an era. Cansada de sus estudios de medicina y todavía marcada por el suicidio de su amante, Laure se refugia en el alcohol, reniega del amor y emprende un peligroso y excitante camino hacia las profundidades de la vida nocturna del barrio de Pigalle en el París de los sesenta. Pronto se convierte en Gigolá, una joven garçonne andrógena, atractiva por su rebeldía—pelo corto, bastón en mano y vestida con un smoking de terciopelo negro—y que expresa su desafío vendiendo su cuerpo. Esta transgresora novela, pionera de las tendencias feministas actuales, retrata fielmente el fenómeno de las garçonnes que marcó toda una época.
