Part pulp adventure, part otherworldly meditation, this is the story of Trafalgar Medrano: intergalactic trader and lover of bitter coffee and black cigarettes. In the bars and cafes of Rosario, Argentina, he recounts tall tales of his space escapades - involving, among other things, time travel and dancing troglodytes. 'A kind of magical realism for science fiction ... Quite, quite brilliant' Tor. (First pb: 1979 / This ed: 2020)
