Varamo
concerns a day in the life of a hapless government employee. After being paid by the ministry in counterfeit money, our unfortunate bureaucrat,
Varamo
, wanders around all night, then sits down and writes the most celebrated masterwork of modern Central American poetry, The Song of the Virgin Boy. What is odd is that
Varamo
, at fifty years old, 'hadn't previously written one sole verse, nor had it ever occurred to him to write one.'"--Back cover.
