One of the few examples of Anglophone Spanish Caribbean magical
realism, this novel follows the journey of a literary figurist,
Leon-Battista Mondaal. He is traveling in an ethnographic team sent
to record the annual masquerade held Christmas Eve in the east
coast villages of Guyana when disaster strikes. This natural
disaster not only destroys the region, population, and crew, but
also Leon-Battista's memory. He is left to dually recall and
construct his identity. Questioning the hegemony of recorded
history, this story develops a striking contrast between time and
experience.
