The unlikely hero of His Only Son, Bonifacio Reyes, is a romantic and a flautist by vocationand a failed clerk and kept husband by necessitywho dreams of a novelesque life. Tied to his shrill and sickly wife by her purse strings, he enters timidly into a love affair with Serafina, a seductive secondrate opera singer, encouraged by her manager who mistakes Bonifacio for a potential patron. Meanwhile, Bonifacios wife experiences a parallel awakening and in the midst of a longbarren marriage, surprises them both with a sonbut is it Bonifacios? In the accompanying novella, Doa Berta, the heroine of the title, an aged, poor, but wellborn woman, forfeits her beloved estate in search of a portrait that may be all that remains of the secret love of her life.While largely unknown outside of Spain, Leopoldo Alas was one of the most celebrated writers of criticism in nineteenthcentury Spain and employed his satirical talents to powerful and humorous effect in fiction. His Only Son was Alass second and final novel, full of characteristic humor, naturalistic detail, descriptive beauty, and moral complexity. His frail and pitiful charactersirrational, emotional actors drawn inexorably toward their foolish fatesare yet multidimensional individuals, often conscious of their own weaknesses and stymied by their very yearnings to be more than the parts they find themselves playing.
