According to the book’s synopsis, it is a work of fiction with a strong sociological bent, where the author, in a journey to his childhood and youth, reworks, in his own words, experiences and old stories heard, remembered, and reinvented, combining the imaginary with abstractions constructed from recovered fragments.
