Description

A bitter drunk abandons civilization and takes to the Mexican jungle, living in squalor and selling animal pelts for liquor. However, his Lacodón tribe neighbors see something more in him than he does himself, dubbing him Wise Owl. When he falls ill, a shaman named Black Ant saves his life, exorcising not only his fever but also the demon of alcoholism. Recovering weakly in his hammock, the antihero discovers that the mosquitoes' buzzing may hold a hidden meaning - perhaps even a language he can learn. With the help of a flute and homemade dictionary, he masters Mosquil, an astonishing development with potentially far-reaching consequences.
