About
"Buarque's second novel is the disturbing tale of an exmodel who, in the seconds before dying, relives his life as if it were a film. A tale of obsession and urban chaos, expertly and lovingly translated, with great attention to the dense descriptive passages of the original"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
