En la noche no hay caminos is an early prize-winning novel that follows the unease of a city night and the misunderstandings between its characters. By layering gaps between reality and psychology, it quietly intensifies a feeling of having nowhere to go.

The unease of the night city slowly shifts the characters out of alignment.
