This is not a political novel, although its roots lie in the student massacre in Mexico City in 1968. The story takes place in 1970 and concentrates on the seemingly unrelated wound of Nestor, a newspaper reporter and former partisan, who has been knifed by a killer of prostitutes. The novel speaks to all those who have pitted their lives against the superior force of the state and lost.
