During the event, the professor of the University of Murcia, José Belmonte, the secretary of the Castillo-Puche Foundation, Liborio Ruiz, the Councilor for Culture of the City Council of Yecla, Jesús Verdú, and the editor of La Fea Burguesía, Fernando Fernández, took part.
The presentation is included in the program of the II International Week of Letters of the Region of Murcia, as well as the events planned for the 100th anniversary of the birth of José Luis Castillo-Puche.
The re-edition published by La Fea Burguesía has a preliminary study and annotations by José Belmonte, and has been possible thanks to the collaboration of the Castillo-Puche Foundation and the City Council of Yecla.

Castillo-Puche wrote the novel in 1970 in New York.
The book has 420 pages and can be purchased at the price of 10 euros.
