King, a dog who reads human thought, narrates the life of Vico and Vica in a settlement of shacks and scrap metal on the outskirts of a city. The story takes place over a single day and brings together other neighbors, such as Liberto, Malak and Corina; for them, after another winter, the good weather is all that matters.

For those seeking contemporary fiction with an animal narrator and stories about survival on the urban margins.
