"Es la víspera de Año Nuevo de 1969: el narrador, un escritor de renombre internacional de unos cuarenta años. Un autoproclamado Don Juan que es fiel sólo a la literatura (se dice a sí mismo), se encuentra con la bella actriz de cine estadounidense Diana Soren en una fiesta y se siente fascinado por su encanto extrañamente evasivo. Para amar su belleza rubia es amar a una imagen codiciado por miles, y que es experimentar la pasión que debe ser convertida en arte. Pero el enamoramiento se convierte en persecución condenada como Diana lo rechaza, como ella huye enigmáticamente en una intriga de la paranoia y el FBI, los celos sexuales y Panteras Negras, y como el narrador apasionado se ve obligado a reconsiderar los fundamentos de su vida como escritor."--Amazon. A meditation on the question "Can we love on earth and someday deserve heaven?" doubles as a tell-all about a love affair with actress Jean Seberg. Notables such as Eduardo Terrazas and William Styron appear as characters under their own names. Seberg is disguised as Diana Soren, and her husband, French author Romain Gary, is Ivan Gravet. The story begins at a 1970 New Year's party, and much is made of the political turmoil of the moment, both in the United States and in Mexico. Carlos, a prominent Mexican novelist, meets Diana Soren, and they begin an affair that will take them to dusty Santiago, the location of Diana's latest film, and end as it began--with betrayal. The narrative is marked by digressions into Sixties revolutionary politics, the meaning of literary creation, and the Puritan origins of the United States. But these never distract from the central themes of the novel?the hunger with which Diana and Carlos consume each other, the tragic link between the eternity of desire and the finitude of love; the wish to create and the inexorable will to destroy. Seberg was scandalized when the FBI alleged in 1970 that she had been impregnated by a member of the Black Panther Party. She committed suicide in 1979; her husband in 1980. In an interesting revisionist turn, the novel claims (as far as Diana Soren is concerned) that the father was a Mexican dissident she met while in Santiago and, in its closing passage, cites an FBI statement admitting the slander.
