Crooked cops, politicians, naive youngsters, slum dwellers, drug dealers and evangelicals collide in what is really a lovely little meditation on life in Latin American cities today. This book is like a meandering stroll through an unknown neighborhood with Aira as a guide signalling the obvious and not-so-obvious placemarkers along the way.
