Summary

At a small gallery in Florence, a Peruvian writer happens upon a photo of a tribal storyteller. He is overcome with the eerie sense that he knows this man.... that the storyteller is not an Indian at all but an old school friend. The writer begins to imagine Zuratass transformation from a modern to a central member of the unacculturated Machiguenga tribe.
