From the author of The Obscene Bird of the Night and one of the spinal writers of the extraordinary boom in Latin-American fiction comes a carefully crafted and bitterly comic meditation on gardens, deceit, and the nature of a writer's muse. (The New Yorker)

A Chilean writer named Julio and his wife Gloria are beset by worries, constantly bickering about money, their writing, and their son (who may or may not be plying the oldest trade in Marrakesh). When Julio's boyhood best friend, now a famous artist, lends the couple his luxurious Madrid apartment for the summer, it is an escape for both -- in particular for Julio, who fantasizes about the garden next door and the erotic life of the lovely young aristocrat who inhabits it.
