Este volumen está formado por dos novelas cortas escritas casi simultáneamente, «Prisión perpetua» y «Encuentro en Saint-Nazaire». En ellas se adivina la afición de Piglia por combinar géneros muy diferentes en un mismo texto, de modo que el lector pueda hallar destellos del relato policial, filológico y fantástico, así como la lógica del discurso ensayístico y la intimidad del diario. El resultado final es una peculiar miscelánea de inspiración borgeana; una manera de narrar que transcurre en un ámbito cerrado—una «novela carcelaria»—, que sirve también como clave de lectura de otras obras, anteriores y posteriores, de Ricardo Piglia.
