"Adoifo Bioy Casares's latest novel is a small masterpiece, a tersely plotted mystery that blends the metaphysical and the mundane. The small-town photographer Almanza's week of adventures in the provincial capital of La Plata takes him many places: to the city's museums, monuments, and a set of stained-glass windows that will haunt him; to bed, separately, with two lovely sisters named Griselda and Julia; to cafes with his friend Mascardi, the cop who may be snitching on his friends who are political activists; and into the arms and machinations of Don Juan Lombardo, father of the sisters and a man greedy for Almanza's blood." [Quoted from the dust wrapper blurb].
