«La muñeca en la vitrina» (bajo el signo de Virgo) is the novel by Ramón J. Sender, published in 1980 by Destino in paperback (113 pages, in Spanish).
A wedding that never takes place: the bride has died and her father and fiancé refuse to accept the loss. Embalmed and luxuriously dressed, they drive her around and take her to the movie theater, in a denial of death that becomes tragicomedy and grotesque farce. Sender reflects on the soul and on whether we might be puppets without one.
The book belongs to Sender's cycle of twelve zodiac novels and to the Destinolibro collection (no. 111).
For readers of contemporary Spanish fiction and of the work of Ramón J. Sender.
