With an introduction by Ben Lerner The truth is we never stop being children, terrible children covered in sores and knotty veins and tumors and age spots, but ultimately children, in other words we never stop clinging to life because we are life. Santa Teresa, on the Mexico-US border: an urban sprawl, a vortex for lost souls. Convicts and academics find themselves here, as does an American sportswriter, a teenage student with her widowed father, and a reclusive, 'missing' author.
But there is a darker side to the town: girls and women are disappearing at an alarming rate and it is fast becoming the scene of a series of horrifying crimes. As progresses, the sense of conspiracy grows, and the shadow of the apocalypse is drawing closer.

Un alegato final digno de un maestro. Es valiente de una forma que pocas obras lo son: elimina de golpe la brecha entre lo divertido y lo solemne. La literatura en estado puro. Al mismo tiempo divertido y, en cierto sentido, intensamente aterrador.
En los blogs With an afterword by Natasha Wimmer. Two hunted men leave town in a hurry, on the desert-bound trail of a vanished poet. Spanning two decades and crossing continents, theirs is a remarkable quest through a darkening universe — our own. It is a journey told and shared by a generation of lovers, rebels and readers, whose testimonies are woven together into one of the most dazzling Latin American novels of the twentieth century.
