Rosario Tijeras (Spanish) by Jorge Franco

Rosario Tijeras de Jorge Franco es una narconovela como pocas pese a su calificación de "siete cuentos". La ternura del personaje de Rosario Tijeras narrada por su enamorado, quien comparte ese amor con otro amigo formando un trío poliamoroso digno de la telenovela del mismo nombre, con una música contemporánea que nos cuenta la historia de los jóvenes de dos clases sociales de nuestra Amérida, la de los privilegiados y la de los que no lo son tanto. Quieren retratar a Colombia como es, no cómo nos la imaginamos. Rosario Tijeras, de Jorge Franco, es una historia tejida con el hilo de un tema universal y tratado mil veces, que intenta reinar sobre los breves silencios que permiten las balas y sobre el sabor a muerte: el amor. Hay momentos en que el lector no sabrá si llorar o reir y, es posible que como yo, termine haciendo ambas cosas.
