Majnun lives his life online in his grandparents' well-appointed home in
the Brazilian capital. No school, no work--just bored in Brasilia. After
falling in love with a married woman, however, he flees to Madrid with
friends, intent on, well . . . something. Writing a historical novel
about medieval Spain? Or perhaps converting to Islam and heading to
North Africa? As Majnun floats through the crowds of Catholics, through
encounters with legitimate medievalists, through romances, friendships,
mosques, and palaces, his vague interests threaten to boil over into
violent, even deadly action.
