A second title that Lemebel contemplated for the novel is that of La loca del frente. Moreover, within the novel, it is the watchword that the protagonists use to identify themselves. The novel's title, Tengo miedo, torero, is the verse of a song by the Spanish singer Sara Montiel (1928–2013).
That same year it was also published in Spain in Anagrama's "Narrativas hispánicas" collection. It was published in Chile in 2001 by Seix Barral's "Biblioteca breve" collection. My Tender Matador is the fourth book and only novel by Lemebel. Among the characters in the novel are Pinochet himself, his wife Lucía Hiriart and Gonzalo Cáceres, then Hiriart's stylist and later a show business personality. Set in Santiago during the second half of 1986, the novel is a love story between a poor travesti and a leftist guerrilla belonging to the Manuel Rodríguez Patriotic Front who participates in the attempted assassination of military dictator Augusto Pinochet.
My Tender Matador ( Spanish: Tengo miedo, torero) is a 2001 novel by Chilean writer Pedro Lemebel.
