In this astonishing
novel, Joáo Gilberto Noll takes his protagonist on a trip to London where his reasons for traveling are
lost along the way: beginning with his arrival at the airport his stay in Britain becomes an end in itself. The the story centers on the strange and surprising mutation of the traveler, when he begins to live another life. The radical nature of this metamorphosis that is narrated places the text in the tradition of
literature by Musil and Beckett. Within the framework of the Londoners resistance- that go from exquisiteness to abjection and crime, the
novel constructs a disquieting story, until it reaches an absolutely perturbing climax, that oscillates between a ghost story and more contemporary plot.
