Washington Cucurto tiene seis hijos, una esposa, 180 discos de cumbia, una editorial de libros de cartón, una lista secreta de los hoteles más arrabaleros de Buenos Aires y una novia calentona, adolescente y socialista de la que está desesperadamente enamorado. Sus amigos son los habitantes from the slums of Buenos Aires, Wildlife and bailantas bars, but also include a beautiful European women, not counting some of the most famous Latin American writers.

Santiago Vega is the Argentine writer who invented Cucurto and signs his name. Or perhaps it is the identity under which Cucurto walks among us, disguising his fierce eroticism, its gross romanticism, his imagination run wild and fervent desire to live-and write-total love.

sordid, chaotic, hilarious and sentimental, the shaman's love does not stop at any convention, literary, political or social in their overwhelming and hallucinatory vision. Together with the story Love is much more than a 500-page novel is from writing proves that you can reinvent the world.
