In that regard, this book is a cage without bars where some of those creatures roam: from the withered eternity of Acapulco and the calling of Mazatl\u0026amp;aacute;n as a food court for the soul; to rockstar for a season in the desert and a stolen souvenir of the 2006 World Cup in Germany that the author took from an ex-lover of his girlfriend; from a hotel in Shanghai where the oldest jazz band in the world plays and the visit of the Queen of England to La Paz, Baja California Sur; to the brutal murder of a Chilean teenager in the Maule Region and a freehand portrait of El Fiscal de Hierro, a persecutor of suicide guerrilla fighters, Marxist homeopaths and narco-matriarchal gangs, the man who led the fight against organized crime in the seventies in Nuevo Laredo.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The eight narratives of this book produce a fortunate attempt in literature: going from the intimate to the general and vice versa.
