Overview
Sus personajes transitan por espacios y momentos trágicos y festivos, como ellos mismos: un general nostálgico ante la revolución mexicana, cada vez más corrompida; una anciana olvidada y su oscura relación con un niño paralítico de las vecindades del centro; un solterón acaudalado que no alcanza a comprender la pobreza ni la desaparición del mito fundador de su status, y un lumpen que, mientras traba un combate con las palabras, termina como guardaespaldas de quien le ha causado tanto dolor... Todos ellos comparten el territorio doloroso, caótico y resentido de la ciudad.
La crítica ha opinado:
"... la vida en la ciudad de México, desde el estrato más bajo al más alto... hay belleza, pasión y genialidad aquí... " -Publishers Weekly -
