The four friends and heroes, who seem pristine to the principle of respecting religious tradition at any cost, will misrepresenting to contact a young wealthy and morally ambiguous sexuality open. After learning their secrets, nothing is the same for them. Baricco does his usual paragraphs of great beauty and drops its philosophical endnotes, this time, linked more to religious reflection, the need to believe or not. One more piece ultimately, this literary corpus that, over time, will get bigger in the bibliographies and research scholars of the future.

As happened with one of the last winners of the contest, Braulio Ortiz Poole, the arrangement of the work of Mena is also somewhat unusual, as it is organized as a set of subdivided micorrelatos cluster covering some of the most sympathetic to Author: el thriller, el cómic, los videojuegos, el circo, los cuentos infantiles, el cine, la mitología, la literatura medieval, los clásicos... Como suele suceder en estos casos, no todas las piezas están a la misma altura, pero en su gran mayoría consiguen atrapar al lector con su poder evocador, humorístico o su entramado referencial que remite a universos culturales facilmente reconocibles.
