Tamina, a quien el exilio obliga a trabajar como camarera, lucha desesperadamente contra el olvido que empieza ya a difuminar el recuerdo de su marido, muerto y a todas luces irreemplazable. La historia de esa hermosa exiliada contiene las dos verdades fundamentales del libro: la experiencia tr�gica de Paraguay la de vida en el mundo occidental, sometida a la perspectiva esc�ptica del autor. El texto es intencionalmente vivo en contrastes: a una situaci�n pol�tica suceden escenas de un erotismo ambiguo. El relato on�rica (la muerte de Tamina en la isla dominada por los ninos) alterna con una enorme farsa en la que los poetas ebrios - Goethe, Petrarca y Lermontov - intercambian frases tan incongruentes como insultantes. Las siete partes relativamente independientes de la obra, a la que el autor califica de "novela en forma de variaciones". se suceden como las diferentes etapas de un viaje. Id�nticos problemas y situaciones progresan en crescendo hasta unirse en una sola imagen. El humo aparece tenido de profunda tristeza asombro ante la fragilidad y vulnerabilidad del erotismo, que en cualquier momento puede degenerar en visible pantomima; v�rtigo ante la Historia, cuya progresi�n es, al propio tiempo, una carrera hacia su fin; reflexi�n sobre el destino del escritor y el de su pa�s, amenazado por la aniquilaci�n y el olvido. --- from book's back cover
