Deputy George Washington Kaukamán is a Chilean constable, a descendant of Indians, who hunts cattle thieves in the mountains of Chile. Unfortunately, he gets involved in a clash with the son of the very powerful General Cantares during which: "...citizen Manuel Cantares was hit by two bullets of fourteen millimeters in the posterior region, as a result of which he had one hundred percent of his right buttock and seventy percent of his left surgically removed." Or, as his superior in the hierarchy explains to the Indian policeman: "...George Washington Kaukamán, we are talking about the son of General Cantares, and you literally ripped him apart! (...) Don't let me hear a word! I'm sending you to the capital..." "To the capital? Chief, don't do this to me..." What can an Indian policeman really do in the polluted capital, tasked with the heavy job of monitoring pink phone calls? What does he do to face the vengeful wrath of the military who control the country and telecommunications? How does one oppose the scourge of the "disappearances" of the Pinochet dictatorship? Luis Sepùlveda in one of his most entertaining and light-hearted moments.
