Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Falling somewhere between Louisa May Alcotts Little Women and Federico Garcia Lorcas The House of Bernarda Alba, Hunting the Last Wild Man tells the story of Candela and her extended family of nine women. Our protagonist has had her disappointments in love and floats from one job to another, ending up at the local mortuary as an apprentice embalmer. There she can tuck herself away from the everyday hubbub of lifes demands.Late one night Candela finds she must work on the father of a gypsy clan, who has left instructions that he must be buried with his cane. Her days are changed forever when she discovers that the cane holds more than just the old mans wishes.With rich images suggestive of an Almodovar film, with emotional depth and intelligence, Vallvey explores the modern womans cynicism, as Candela attempts to integrate an impossibly marvelous stranger into her life. Candela lives in a house of women nine to be exact: six sisters, their mother, their grandmother, and their rich aunt Mary, who owns the house. Candela has had her disappointments in love and floats from one job to another before ending up at the local mortuary working as an apprentice embalmer. Her work on the late patriarch of a gypsy clan introduces her to the dead mans nephew Amador, who turns out to be both a successful businessman and a scintillating lover. In a rich style that recalls the films of Almodovar, Vallvey explores Candelas ingenious attempts to integrate the last wild man into her life.
