The book opens with this introduction: “Back in the 1960s, there was another Buenos Aires. A nocturnal city that competed with its daytime counterpart. A city that sheltered, in its downtown streets and alleyways, an erratic community of artists.” Night is the main visual motif of the book. Even scenes set during the day evoke night. The low light and heavy shadows of most of its pages are a constant nocturnal reminder. The blurry art adds to this, as does the sketchiness and smudginess, as if the book were rendered with the remnant ash of the creative fire that animated the featured artists. Sharp contrasts imply the presence of neon lighting, as one might find on busy city streets, even when indoors. And sound effects are rendered viscerally, becoming piercing noises amplified by the void of night.
