Macno, a former rock star/television commentator, is the benign dictator of an unnamed Latin country but, as the novel begins, he's growing tired of being trapped inside his role as savior of his people: his repeated attempts to tape a rousing speech commemorating the Third Anniversary of his rise to power meet with failure as he's stricken with a kind of existential lassitude, and can't rouse the crowds. One day a freelance journalist, Lisa and her American cameramen barge into the Presidential palace. The two stay on at the palace as his guests. Lisa falls in love with Macno and learns of his growing depression, his nostalgia for sensations and the increasing frustration of his advisors, electronic genuises who want Macno to govern through television.
