This is a novel about four sons of the Spanish transition to democracy from the Barcelona suburbs who have forgotten their dreams and ideals and live secluded in a garage. One fine day a strange creature who seems to have evil intentions turns up. The novel is about a Finnish writer named Folke Ingo, who happens to be the author of the adventures of the four men. Various characters annotate and comment on Folke Ingo’s text in the footnotes. These include his translator, his mother and the president of the Club of Friends of Gregorio Morán. The spirits of rebels, revolutionaries, coup leaders and dictators, including Mussolini and Franco, are called up from the dead. This is an unbridled, politically radical and aesthetically subversive pop novel written with inexhaustible inventiveness.
