Editorial Anagrama, 2009. 1ª Edición . Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Excelente. La voz arrebatada de Auxilio Lacouture narra, e indaga, un crimen atroz y lejano. Auxilio, uruguaya de mediana edad, se oculta en los lavabos de mujeres durante la toma de la universidad por la policía, en México, en septiembre de 1968. Recluida allí por varios días, podrá avizorar los años ya vividos en México y los años por vivir. Rememora entonces a la poetisa Lilian Serpas, que hizo el amor con el Che, y a su infortunado hijo, a los poetas españoles León Felipe y Pedro Garfias a quienes Auxilio sirvió como doméstica voluntaria, y también aparece Arturo Belano, personaje central en Los detectives salvajes, de la que esta novela es una digresión fractal. Pero sobre todo se narra un viaje por un mundo, el Polo Norte de la memoria que se extiende por doquier. «Consigue dar vida a un personaje que sin duda quedará grabado en la memoria del lector» (Ignacio Martínez de Pisón, ABC); «En lugar de ser un libro menor, es una obra más arriesgada y, por tanto, más minoritaria que Los detectives salvajes» (Mihály Dés, Lateral).
