"Carnivalesque and postmodernist are some of the possible qualifiers for this picaresque novel. Its structure involves both an orderly and chaotic array of themes, scenarios, and displacement of characters. The protagonist, Captain Poeira (Captain Dust), mutates from main character to narrator in mid-novel, following a string of incidents, some humorous and others not. Seemingly independent of each other, these incidents are also juxtaposed and inter-related by events of the captain's life of adventures and search for balance"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
