Cien años de la desaparición del crucero nocturno más amado, cien años de la leyenda del cometa rojo y la “D” que quedó grabada en el cielo y en la memoria de los habitantes. El puerto San Frenando se volvió parte de la leyenda y ya nadie se anima a acercarse, salvo yo, intrigado por aquellos sucesos.

El héroe de la, tierra marginada desposeídos; genio militar que no pudo ser, el hombre que llevó a la fuerza más revolucionaria en América Latina como una familia, recuerda la traición y la venganza, las aspiraciones y el trabajo diario de los que hicieron la guerra como medio para lograr la paz.

Billy Lynch's family and friends have gathered to comfort his widow, and to pay their respects to one of the last great romantics. As they trade tales of his famous humor, immense charm, and consuming sorrow, a complex portrait emerges of an enigmatic man, a loyal friend, a beloved husband, an incurable alcoholic. Alice McDermott's striking novel, Charming Billy, is a study of the lies that bind and the weight of familial love, of the way good intentions can be as destructive as the truth they were meant to hide. Charming Billy is the winner of the 1998 National Book Award for Fiction.
