A taut new novel by the award-winning author of The Sound of Things
Falling - 'one of the most original voices of Latin American
literature', Mario Vargas Llosa 'An affecting, carefully paced work
of psychological realism' Times Literary Supplement As Colombia's
famed political cartoonist, Javier Mallarino, strolls through
downtown Bogota before a public celebration of his career in the
grand Teatro Colon, he contemplates the start of his professional
life; how he set down his oils and took up a pen to begin drawing
caricatures for a living. But the celebration has far-reaching
consequences: as he leaves the theatre a figure from his past, now
a young woman, emerges from the crowd and forces Mallarino to
confront an incident that took place in his home half a lifetime
ago, calling into question his reputation and the value of his
life's work.
