A love story between an old manipulator and a beautiful visionary artist. An unclassifiable ballad, at times a parody of the noir genre, at times a family saga with an unknown narrator. A sarcastic and poignant testimony of our global, indeterminate, tragic, hilarious world in which humanity turns up when it’s least expected, under cover of money or in environments with no control or space. A shout that condemns destitution with a mood and a tenderness little heard in our language. Told with unusual rhetoric economy, this tragic and enchanting story is a real find from a Chilean author whom this publisher is delighted to present to our readers.
