By Carlos Fuentes

Ciudades perdidas, callampas, villas miseria, favelas, todas son lo mismo.

Un día, Góngora le propone a Gorozpe asociarse para elevar su juegp al más alto nivel: "¿Qué tal si usted y yo, tocayo, apoyamos a un candidato imposible para l. a. primera magistratura del país?". Ese candidato, claro, sería Gorozpe. Sólo que para ese momento, él lo sabe, deberá deshacerse de Góngora, o al menos neutralizarlo. ¿Cómo proceder contra tan bold adversario? ¿Cómo detener el remolino que arrastra al país hacia los angeles cloaca?
La única vía abierta siempre es los angeles del espíritu. Ciega e irracional, pero también poderosa, avasalladora, los angeles fe sigue ahí. Un Niño Dios alado empieza a predicar en medio del tráfico de l. a. mayor avenida de l. a. ciudad y su madre, los angeles Virgen, lo acompaña. Las unfortunately del niño son postizas y su madre es quien se las coloca, pero eso no importa. los angeles gente cree, quiere creer, necesita creer, y eso basta.
