Synopsis "Sí...Cariño / Yes...Dear (in Spanish)"

«Cada libro de Quino es lo que más se parece a la felicidad: la quinoterapia. -Gabriel García Márquez El amor ha sido el tema literario por excelencia desde el principio de los tiempos, pero nadie lo ha tratado de forma tan original y descarnada como Quino, el magnífico humorista ganador del Premio Príncipe de Asturias. En este excepcional volumen, con mujeres que riegan a sus maridos como si fueran una planta más o cartas de despedida que acaban convirtiéndose en mensajes furibundos, Quino reflexiona sobre las luces y sombras de las parejas, el enamoramiento fugaz y el largo olvido, la soltería y la soledad, el abandono, las crisis conyugales, el romanticismo o la devoción a la madre por encima de todas las cosas. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Every book by Quino is the closest thing to happiness: It's like quinotherapy." -Gabriel García Márquez Love has been the literary theme par excellence since the beginning of time, but no one has approached it as originally and unsparingly as Quino, the beloved cartoonist and winner of the Prince of Asturias Prize. In this exceptional volume, featuring wives who water their husbands as though they were just another houseplant and Dear John letters that devolve into rage-filled missives, Quino reflects on the high and low points of relationships, love at first sight and just as sudden disenchantment, being single, loneliness, abandonment, conflicts among couples, romance, and love for mom above all else.

Quino was born in Mendoza (Argentina, 1932-2020). He was an Argentine cartoonist and comic artist, globally known for creating Mafalda, the critical, intelligent, and world-committed girl who became a Spanish-speaking cultural icon. From a young age, he showed talent for drawing and, after leaving the School of Fine Arts, he fully dedicated himself to graphic humor. He published in numerous media and gained international recognition for his ironic and sensitive view of society, politics, and human beings. His most famous work, Mafalda, was published between 1964 and 1973, and has been translated into more than 30 languages. Additionally, Quino created dozens of graphic humor books like ¡A mí no me grite!, Gente en su sitio, or Bien, gracias, ¿y usted?. He received awards such as the Prince of Asturias Award for Communication and Humanities in 2014, recognizing his immense contribution to critical thinking and universal humor.
