Synopsis
The interconnected stories that form this novel take place in a Madrid of almost frightening exoticism, in which comic characters revolt against their author. They include Fulano, the least important man in the world, Don Laureano Baez, the richest of beggars and the strongman Chinelato.

About the Author
Mary McCarthy was an American literary critic and author of more than two dozen books. Her debut novel, The Company She Keeps, initiated her ascent to become one of the most celebrated writers of her generation, a reputation bolstered by her controversial 1963 New York Times bestseller The Group, which was banned in Australia for its frank portrayal of female sexuality. McCarthy was married four times, including to the critic Edmund Wilson. She died in 1989.
