A man who longs for a lost world where one lived without thinking combats the banality of his time with irony. Sheltered in solitude, he roams his city like a Martian, brushes against the underworld, and works for a mafioso mathematician, while jotting down tributes to the great men of yore and lunatic reflections on fatherhood or hired killers.

Contemporary literary fiction in Spanish, with a satirical and ironic tone, for adult readers.
