Through the power and vitality of his poetry, Cazares brings to life the vast imagined landscape of The Whale Play: the story of seven childhood friends who flee the strict religious world of their youth to dive into the dark underworld of The City, a place where daily life is earth shattering and they are always on the verge of extinction.
