Built around two poles, a man facing death and the men who intend to kill him, this novel probes the motives and consequences hidden inside a single act of violence. Its structure turns a simple event into a chain of psychology and circumstance.

One assassination opens into a web of motives and consequences.

The novel begins with a man who calls himself a writer still in draft form, then turns a failed trip to Oramar into a nocturnal adventure. Through digressions and recollections, it folds the instability of writing itself into the story.

A failed journey becomes a meditation on the uncertainty of writing.
