Reseña:  A perceptive and occasionally scathing commentary on institutionalized culture and social isolation this novel centers on the prison world and specifically those tasked with operating and maintaining it. This includes men such as the veteran jailer Ferraras who through absences and dalliances on the margins of society seeks to assert his independence or Ferraras superior Sandoval who has ambitiousif cynical and corruptplans for the prison men who however much they think of themselves as above or apart from the prison environment are in fact themselves as captive to it as the men they are tasked with guarding. Ultimately this is a portrait of the craving for power of the inanity of the cultural institutions that this yearning engenders and of the individuals who however willingly or unwillingly are consumed by it. Un comentario perspicaz y ocasionalmente caustico de la cultura institucionalizada y el aislamiento social esta novela se centra en el mundo de las prisiones y especificamente aquellos encargados con operar y mantenerlo. Esto incluye hombres como el carcelero veterano Ferraras quien mediante ausencias y convivencias en el margen social busca demostrar su libertad y su superior Sandoval quien tiene planes ambiciosospor no decir cinicos y corruptospara la prision hombres que por mas que se piensen por encima o aparte del entorno de la prision son tan prisioneros como los hombres que custodian. Este es al final un relato mordaz del ansia de poder de la inanidad de las instituciones culturales que crecen a su sombra y de aquellos individuos que por mas que quieran o no quieran son consumidos por el.
