Set against the vibrant backdrop of Lisbon's nightlife, the narrative explores the blurred lines between reality and madness through the eyes of Paolo, the son of a famous transvestite. As he grapples with his identity, he reflects on the tragic lives of his father Carlos, a legendary figure, and Carlos's lover Rui, a heroin addict. The novel delves into themes of loss and societal marginalization, richly portraying the lives of its eccentric characters with psychological depth and literary symbolism, reminiscent of Joyce's Ulysses.
