here are a lot of hot dark rooms in the world, crowded with sweating people, pummeled by noise, fueled by alcohol and cigarettes, grass, drugs, and the possibility of sexual adventure; where mingle friendships and hostilities; old scars and new scrapes. Week after week the same valued humorists, sensuous creatures, crack-pots and bone-heads-- strange denizens who might sport angular hairdos and sunglasses at night and wear handmade rapidly disintegrating t-shirts, silk-screened over and over inside and out. The population of said establishment is a temporary community: an unstable molecule, in flux --almost always a lost history; a tangle of untold tales and faces. A family that drifted together and drifted away later--savored but uncelebrated. And so has it been for centuries. As Wild youth will go.
Until a friend of the troglodytes, Jorge Alderete, decided to capture the souls of the subterranean populace of his beloved Alicia and pin them like butterflies in this book for you to examine in a move to outfox time. And then he did. Are you lucky to be one of them? A valued specimen? Time is stumped.
