Novel that won the 2004 UNA-Word Contest Prize. With a remarkable command of language and narrative techniques, its author creates an atmosphere of the underworld of the rufian and nocturnal San José. The narrator places us in the physical and psychological twists and turns of the dark and sad belly of the city: morgue, bars, streets, prisons, with its diverse supply of drugs, vices, baseness and murky affairs. A contribution to the contemporary Costa Rican narrative.
