Plot
editThe novel is written as a memory, from a distance, surrounded by a story from Latin America, where the first-person narrator Čatko fled from his native Slovenia because of the problems he got into. Namely, Ata Čatko is engaged in dirty business of forced recovery of money. He usually takes her away without any unpleasant consequences, but this time one of the recovered people recognized him in the newspaper and threatened him. In order to protect his otherwise neglected family, his father kills the person and takes him to Argentina, saying goodbye to his exciting life, which in the "new world" now represents living with a good drink, white powder and women. He can't go home, otherwise he doesn't even think about it. His wife Lola and son Tin are waiting for him at home, as well as his constant mistress, many coincidences, beer friends, bohemians, and last but not least, colleagues in the "profession" - mafia debt collectors.
