ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"A band of arrogant teens sanctioning their own laws. The eyes of our dead friends were watching us at all times. They were protective spirits waiting for a visit. Mountains of offerings to the most immoral god scattered at our feet. A lake filled with paper acid, opened and licked. We slept only as a brief truce in the war against society."

Endowed by revered delinquents, armored with designer clothes, swelled with golden chains around his neck, and mounted in someone else's bike, the protagonist tames the grievance of some having everything and others, nothing. Firstborn of a young woman addicted to movies, cocaine, and surgeries, brother to many, and grandchild of a devout evangelist and the owner of a hide-out, C sar Gonz lez avenges his lineage.

Urged by a vital spell, cries out his requiem to his friends. Immune to ugliness, condescendence, and archetypes, this lustful and austere novel is all at once the greatest forefront of the devastating nineties. A western like on TV. With shootouts and crashes and chases. With cops and robbers. With wounded and dead.
