Description
Chano Valdez is a celebrated writer. He pens not just novels, but works of such astounding quality that he is known throughout his minor South American country and the world as the finest of his generation. He teaches at the university and lives a life of luxury, taking any woman he'd like to bed, and living on the joys of fame.
But then two things happen to unsettle his life. He gets writer's block and can only come up with 'the scrawny yellow cat crossed the road' for his next oeuvre, and he meets Caterina.
She is the answer to everything. Young, beautiful, talented and best of all she writes. Convinced she will unlock his mind and help him to succeed, Chano finds himself falling for this wonderful girl.
That is, until he murders her.
