Una colonia de Pingüinos (A Penguin Colony)

"María, la hermosa, la audaz María República, perdió a sus padres, fusilados en 1939. La guerra civil puso fina toda una vida de esperanza, empujándola a ejercer la prostitución en un burdel barcelonés. Su tía, doña Eloísa-burguesa, amparándose en la ley de rehabilitación social, la encierra en un convento de clausura para regenerarla. Convento delirante, fruto de la magistral imaginación del autor, donde gobierna una jerarquía esperpéntica y terrorífica. La Madre Superiora, una hedionda duquesa artrítica está empeñada en hacer de María su digna sucesora"--Back cover.
