Author's name: Paulo Scott

With its many details, this novel appears to be an enjoyable journey through the streets and neighborhoods of Porto Alegre, an exploration and survey of the ethnic classifications and color spectrums in this diverse and interconnected society. This novel belongs to postmodern literature, with its simple vocabulary and rapid language, far removed from the classical language of the novel, so that the reader feels as if he is watching a cinematic scene, with clear visual connotations that impose a rhythm and rapid keeping pace with the novel's events, dialogue intersections, and character interactions and conflicts. It is as if the author has relied on the decoupage technique of dividing the novel's events into visual scenes, forcing us to shift our gaze between them so as not to lose sight of the person conducting the conversation. Dialogues and cultural, political, social, racial and ethnic issues in one novel, violence, protests, arrest, love, internal conflicts, sarcasm, family ties, integrity and firm principles, we read it without getting bored in one novel, the writer does not leave us room to catch our breath, but with his condensation and deep and unusual presentation, he may make us wonder throughout the novel about the incident that turns Federico's life upside down and the fear that accompanies him throughout the years he spends in Brasilia, until he returns to Porto Alegre and faces the truth
