«Tantas veces Pedro» is the novel by Peruvian writer Alfredo Bryce Echenique, published in 1981 in paperback (253 pages, in Spanish).
Pedro Balbuena, a young writer who is an incorrigible mythomaniac, turns a girl seen only in a magazine photograph into a platonic love. Years later, in Paris, he thinks he recognizes her in Sophie, a grand lady he sees getting out of a car with a mastiff. Amid imaginary loves, Pedro pursues that woman with a passion narrated with humor and nostalgia.
The full title of the work is «La pasión según San Pedro Balbuena que fue tantas veces Pedro, y que nunca pudo negar a nadie».
For readers of Latin American fiction and humorous love stories: an intimate portrait of passion and nostalgia.
