A mismatch loving and social earthquake of February 27 have a transformative effect on the protagonist's life. A background story about an invasion of birds of prey, becomes increasingly apocalyptic and eventually merges with the Caracazo riots.
A narrative line parallel, on the failure of a hippie commune, was established as a bridge between the fantasies of Alexander and the final outcome.
Vulture Valley plunges the reader into a world of stark and returns
enriched by an experience of collective value, but the journey is far from a free fall. It is rather a journey between feelings, a roller coaster that goes from comic to tragic, from the ridiculous to the sublime.
A judge fugitive, a drug addict soldier, blinded by their own choice, old guards, the world is mutating Vulture Valley, and nobody is what Vulture Valley offers.
A genuine look of youth and the Latin American city. Sometimes bold, sometimes puerile. A novel in which the protagonist confronts social taboos and beliefs, and emotionally involved in the process to its protagonists.
