Each short story of this book is a magic spell crafted with the indisputable rhythm and sensibility that are hallmarks of Galician author Manuel Rivas. The title Qu me quieres, amor? stems from the story of a lover who abruptly changes his life after a bank robbery. Love pervades the characters of other stories, including the father who goes to work each night worried where his son has spent the night, our childhood recollection of our mother who ineffably resembles a milkmaid that Dutch painter Vermeer depicted in 1660, Carmia's most carnal love before the awkward presence of her dog Tarzan, and the compassionate love that the readers begin to feel for the old rural teacher in the Butterfly's Tongue, a short story magnificently adapted to the movies.

Blurb in Spanish:
Cada cuento de este libro es un hechizo urdido por el indiscutible ritmo y sensibilidad de Manuel Rivas. Da nombre a la obra la historia de un enamorado que cambia definitivamente su vida con el atraco a un banco. En otros relatos es tambin el amor el protagonista indefinido: el amor del padre que va a trabajar con la preocupacin de no saber cmo ni dnde ha pasado su hijo la noche; el amor a la madre, de inefable semejanza, en el recuerdo infantil, a la lechera pintada por Vermeer en 1660; el amor ms carnal de Carmia, con la incmoda presencia de su perro Tarzn; o -por qu no?- el amor compasivo que llega a sentir el lector por el viejo profesor rural de La lengua de las mariposas , historia que ha sido adaptada al cine por Jos Luis Cuerda y Rafael Azcona.
