'It was the ideal street - for a boy, a lover, a maniac, a drunkard, a crook, a lecher, a thug' In 1920s New York one Henry V. Miller, personnel manager of the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Co., spends his days hiring and firing a succession of wasters, maniacs, perverts, ex-cons, idiots and whores - while also writing the most important work of literature ever published and enjoying increasingly outrageous erotic exploits. Banned for thirty years, this riotous companion piece to Tropic of Cancer is a frank portrait of the Brooklyn of Miller's youth - its skyscrapers and sewers, its lusts and dejection - and a savage attack on America. 'American Literature begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done.' Lawrence Durrell 'His writing is flamboyant, torrential, chaotic, treacherous, and dangerous.' Anaïs Nin

JB, el héroe de esta novela, y su ayudante recorren Madrid, sus garitos y sus barrios residenciales, hablan con policías y con antiguos progres para buscar a un asesino que se envuelve en la amnesia. El detective va apartando las capas superficiales hasta llegar al corazón del misterio. El pasado se convierte en el principal testigo. JB sabe que el paso de los años es una riada que, al retirarse, deja al descubierto a los muertos y a los culpables, porque el tiempo habla sin que le pregunten.
