Upon recovering from a prolonged illness, an author is invited to a literary gathering in Jerusalem that turns out to be a most unusual affair. In the conference rooms of a luxury hotel, as bombs fall outside, at times too close for comfort, he listens to a series of extraordinary life stories: the saga of a chess-playing duo, the tale of an Italian porn star with a socialist agenda, the drama of a Colombian industrialist who has been waging a longstanding battle with local paramilitaries, and many more. But it is José Maturana?evangelical pastor, recovering drug addict, ex-con?with his story.
"Au sortir d'une longue maladie, un écrivain est invité à un congrès de biographes à Jérusalem. Il y croise le libraire bibliophile Edgar Miret Supervieille, l'actrice italienne de cinéma porno Sabina Vedovelli, l'entrepreneur colombien Moises Kaplan et José Maturana, ex-pasteur évangélique, ex-forçat, ex-drogué."

"Un escritor es invitado a un congreso de biógrafos en la ciudad de Jerusalén, metáfora de una urbe sitiada por la guerra, a punto de sucumbir. La narración de las vidas de los participantes al congreso sorprende al protagonista. Tal es el caso del librero y biógrafo francés Edgar Miret Supervielle, de la actriz porno italiana Sabina Vedovelli, del empresario colombiano Moisés Kaplan y, sobre todo, de José Maturana, un ex pastor evangélico, ex convicto y ex drogadicto que, con el poderoso lenguaje de las calles más sórdidas, narra el periplo de su salvador, un carismático mesías latino en Miami."
