“History pushes us to questions about its course, which we answer sometimes, and many times confusion remains a prisoner of souls and chance, until awakening comes to strike our consciences through one of those honest creations that refresh memory, such as the letter that Fernando Arrabal addressed in 1971 to General Francisco Franco (President of Spain 1939- 1975) to argue with him about the great Spanish Civil War - as some Spaniards described it - and then about the regime imposed by the general after the war.

Rabbits emerge from jacket sleeves, a car fixes a shed instead of a pole, and medical cotton speaks and makes sounds; These are some of the daily observations mixed with audio-visual hallucinations, narrated by a young drug addict, through a group of separate, connected short stories that describe the image of a world in which wakefulness and sleep are mixed, and reality and imagination.

Without lacking a sense of humor and bitter banter, Dennis Johnson presents in this collection an honest testimony about the lives of young addicts in the United States of America, and despite all the laughter and smiles generated by the book’s funny characters with their jokes and behavior, perhaps the reader will wonder at the end: Why does he feel this way? All sadness? It is a book written in the mouth of addicts, not about them, and describes their alienation and their connection with the world that is gradually fading.
