El narrador es el propio autor de esta novela. Varón de 44 años. Está escrita en presente como tiempo verbal y ambientada en Cádiz (España) justo antes del estallido de la guerra civil. El narrador adopta un estilo mixto. Aunque narra en tercera persona la mayor parte del tiempo, se permite intervenciones en segunda persona a modo de pensamientos dirigidos a los personajes, específicamente a María, la protagonista. Esto le da un toque de cercanía, como si estuviera acompañando al personaje y cuestionándolo o aconsejándolo, aunque el personaje no lo escuche directamente.

Tragicómica y melancólica, esta novela nos presenta un mundo plúmbeo y totalitario, dominado por fuerzas ciegas e impersonales. Un escenario humano desolador en el que la inteligencia es anulada por la fuerza bruta y la violencia, y en el que el caos arrastra irremediablemente a unos personajes que, entre el conformismo y la insignificancia, no aciertan a crear un orden nuevo menos cruel y menos gris. El estallido de violencia no alcanza siquiera el rango de revolución y la vida transcurre, en esta pequeña y anónima ciudad húngara, sumida en una atmósfera de terror y amarga ironía.
