Author Fernando Iwasaki introduces his main characters in a pretty unique way -through the eyes of the women who have loved him. Ten chapters that carry the names of the many women who have trashed him throughout the many years of his unfortunate love life. But, has it really been totally unfortunate? These experiences tell us that stories don't only have a negative side -in the words of the author "an unsuccessful love live leads to a funny life since a bad love is a guarantee of good humor."
