Pecho Frío es un hombre común. Está casado, vive en Lima, Perú y trabaja como banquero. No lleva una vida muy emocionante, pero tampoco tiene nada de que quejarse... hasta el día en que decide concursar en un programa de televisión donde se enfrenta con la oportunidad de ganar un viaje lujoso. Todo lo que tiene que hacer es una cosa aparentemente sencilla: besar al anfitrión del programa. Renuente, pero también ansioso por reclamar su premio, acepta el reto, y antes de siquiera darse cuenta, se encuentra entrelazando lenguas con otro hombre, mientras todo queda grabado en televisión en vivo.
Lo que se desarrolla es una serie de, uno diría, "eventos desafortunados". Su matrimonio se resquebraja, sus colegas lo rechazan, y la siempre conservadora sociedad latinoamericana en la que vive lo convierte en el tonto de la ciudad. Pero hay una ventaja: se convierte en la cara de una vociferante organización LGBT y, de alguna manera, su vida da un giro hacia lo inesperado.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Jaime Bayly impresses with this humorous and satirical novel in which he explores homosexuality’s place in Latin American society and challenges the status quo.
Pecho Frio is an ordinary and average man. He is married, lives in Lima, Peru and works as a banker. He doesn't lead a very exciting life at all. One day he decides to enter a contest on a television show where he could win a luxurious trip. All he has to do is one seemingly simple thing: kiss the male host of the show. Reluctant, but also eager to claim the grand prize, he accepts the challenge, and before he knows it, he finds himself tongue wrestling another man, while everything is being played on live television.
Soon thereafter his marriage falls apart and his colleagues reject him. But something good does come out of it all: he becomes the spokesperson for a loud and determined LGBT organization and, somehow, his life takes an unexpected turn.
