Que pase lo peor

Nelson Camargo is about fifty, the author of one weak novel, lives mostly on tinned tuna and has just been dismissed from Insetec, a makeshift college in Bogotá. A chance meeting with a friend sets his life on a new course: he is soon back to old heavy-metal records, reworking his only book and trying to be funny on the page. Crossing the city by TransMilenio from Chapinero to the south, he witnesses, and takes part in, a run of cosmic miracles involving Yeison Mestizo, a menacing yet endearing figure from the Policarpa neighbourhood, and starts an affair with a woman of Yeison's family.
