Roque Waterfall has many defects but a great virtue: it lacks economic problems thanks to the rents it obtains by renting a building that it has inherited in the Los Andes neighborhood of the Buenos Aires. So he has plenty of time and in search of literary inspiration he frequents after-hours slums in the underworld, but also glamorous parties in Palermo where he rubs shoulders with the vernacular jet-set.
