Used Book in Good Condition</br></br>Product Description</br></br><div>An evening at the opera spills out onto the street and into an odyssey through Montreal by night. The narrator?? both innocent and cynical?? rushes headlong down what appears to be the road to ruin?or perhaps merely to the loss of his virginity. We follow him from a caf? called El Cortijo (Spanish for a country house with a farm building attached) to a nightclub called the Four Corners of the World. This is an urban metaphor for the classic story of the shrewd country boy bedazzled and led astray by the bright lights of the big city. We discover along with him a burlesque world of transgression and madness?? where pleasures are far from simple
