In this book Ariel Dorfman travels through Chile's Norte Grande, an arid landscape with ruins of old mining towns and family memories. The narrative interweaves the mining past and the harshness of that work with the memory of the dictatorship, the execution of an old friend, an observatory, and indigenous villages buried by sand.

For readers interested in travel literature, memoirs, and Chile's recent history.
