Takes the readers through Puerto Rico's capital, the city, which is a place of cabarets and cockfighting clubs, flaneurs and beach bums, smoke-filled bars and honking automobiles. Here, the author invokes the ghosts of his childhood, of San Juan's elder literati, and of characters from his own novels.
