More about the book

Set against the backdrop of Colombia's turbulent history, the novel explores themes of social inequality and violence through a surreal narrative. It tells the story of naked humans imprisoned to serve the whims of the "vicious clothed ones," focusing on one man's rebellion that threatens both his life and those of his fellow captives. With layers of ritual and bizarre social structures, the book features trained insects and reptiles as spies, highlighting the desperate struggle for survival and food among the oppressed. Rosero's work stands as a poignant social critique.
