Tomás, a teacher in his late thirties, reunites with the platonic love of his adolescence and enters a crisis that transforms him. His inner journey evokes that of Jonah in the belly of the whale. The novel blends humor and melancholy, with a tragicomic tone and memorable characters, like an ironic coming-of-age story.

For readers of contemporary fiction who appreciate tragicomedies about personal crises and human relationships.
