The profile of the chronicle writer from Kansas ultimately becomes a tool to elogioa endemic problems in Lima and Peru.
Other friends as well as his mother recall what a mischievous boy he was. We find out that del Barco is travelling to the town of Ayacucho, where the terrorist group Sendero Luminoso murdered three of the women in her family: The chronicle is, clearly, related to the essay, but its distinctive textual persona feeds expectations that we will experience as something more than a lecturer sharing insights or recommendations on a significant current topic.
