A decadent map of Bogota, this work brings to life a city that is both modern yet divisive. Summarized in 17 short stories, a novella, and 18 brief tales, the portrait of this ghostly city always emerges from the ashes and collects decisive moments of life in the 20th century: from the One Thousand Days War through Rojas Pinillas dictatorship, to the flower generation and the abandonment of postmodern life at the beginning of the 21st century. Themes of loneliness and alienation are a constant presence throughout this literary and historic view of one of Columbias most important cities. Este libro se podría leer como un impecable mapa de Bogotá—un mapa decadente de una ciudad moderna pero excluyente, consumida a menudo por las llamas de un incendio perpetuo. Resumida en 17 cuentos, una novela corta y 18 relatos breves, el retrato de esta ciudad fantasmal emerge siempre de las cenizas y recoge momentos decisivos de la vida en el siglo 20: desde la Guerra de los Mil Días y la dictadura de Rojas Pinilla, hasta la generación de las flores. Los dos temas centrales—la soledad y el ser diferente a los demás—surgen a través de toda la obra.
