      Utilizing the metaphor of a journey, this collection of poems reflects on Columbus's mistaken belief that he reached Japan, exploring the oppressive legacy of colonialism in Latin America. It critiques the impact of the 1973 military coup in Chile and the subsequent dictatorship, revealing the violence and degradation in urban life. Despite depicting a decadent and apocalyptic world, the author also suggests the potential for regeneration and hope amid despair.
