Synopsis

Using a questionnaire, the author interviews writers, artists, and prominent figures in Colombian culture. Through his interviews, Arango portrays these personalities, using suggestive questions and the unconscious revelation that comes with the improvised nature of the answers. Likewise, some figures, Nadaístas and other artists, present their life stories in the first person, discussing their art, life motivations, and cultural issues. Finally, two chronicles are presented: one addressed to a relative of Arango's in Chocó, and another in which the author reflects on Cartagena and its historic center based on a trip he made to the city in 1966.
