Query: An English Term paper as written by a Spaniard

I can imagine this book starting out as an English 101 paper: Write 7 memorable characters in the setting of your choice. Nunez chose a guy who looks like Sinatra, a runaway, a prostitute, a transvestite, a midget, a religious kook, and a criminal. He chose the most excellent of cities, Barcelona. What he forgot about was a plot and a mechanism by which we should care about any of them. My coffee house friends would love this book, but for the rest of us who might want to be informed or entertained or educated - do yourself a favor and skip it.
