How Things Work

By Neil Ardley

An eccentric narrator, weighed down by his vices, morosely debates between unfettered luxury and the boredom it causes him while he gets closer to the unpardonable consummation of a crime. A peculiar murder diary, this chronicle of the end of an era is a subtle portrayal of the human soul with all of its excesses and whims. ? Un narrador exc?ntrico, exquisito, fatigado por el peso de sus vicios, se debate morosamente entre el lujo canalla y el hast?o que ?ste le provoca, mientras se acerca de modo irremisible a la consumaci?n de un crimen. Un peculiar diario de un asesino, esta cr?nica del fin de una ?poca es a la vez un sutil retrato del alma humana con todos sus excesos y veleidades.
