A medida que va conociendo la vida y obra del precoz escritor nos va contando cómo la suya va cayendo lentamente en un abismo.En cierto momento pareciera que los acontecimientos de la vida del niño determinaran los sucesos acaecidos en la actualidad al doctor Portela, como si de un entrelazamiento cuántico se tratara.Los dos protagonistas, amantes de las letras, nos cuentan sus vivencias, anécdotas e infortunios, en un contrapunteo temporo-espacialque nos permite viajar desde un pequeño barrio de provincia de finales de los sesenta hasta la indignada y caótica Bogotá actual.Cuando logra, en un final apasionante, descifrar el misterio de aquel asesinato impune durante 50 años descubre cuánto tiene en común con el narrador del diario. Solo resta viajar a conocerlo.
