The voice which narrates this eminent work from the Latin American boom flows indefatigably from the lips of the Little Mute, as in a voyage from being to nothingness, creating a cavernous and decrepit world. A world which from the first to last page acquires the dimension of a universe from which the reader cannot escape.
