The second novel by the widely acclaimed author of "La Maravilla" (1993) is magical narrative involving an insane Bulgarian cab driver, a punchy tamale vendor, a gigantic Tongan transsexual, a guilt-ridden martyr, and the assorted dispossessed and desperate souls who hover in and around Raphael's Silver Cloud Cafe. Murders, suicides, visions, and riots combine into an undifferentiated dream through Vea's prose, which is as evocative and lush as the events it describes.
