La estructura de este libro es un zapping de la memoria y la observación. Las secciones que dan orden a los fragmentos aluden a una manera de habitar la Ciudad de México, todas ejercidas por el autor, quien sobrevivió para contarla. Así, "Vivir en la ciudad" describe escenas de la vida diaria, pasajes de la infancia del autor (las casas vacías de la colonia en la que creció, el último paseo con su abuela) en una ciudad de la que no queda más que la memoria personal y el cuento que con ésta se forja.

La familia de la protagonista alimenta su día a día de sueños distantes, cuando no imposibles: la interminable construcción de una casa donde al fin podrán ser felices, la búsqueda de remedios alternativos para la enfermedad incurable que mata lentamente a la madre, los viajes por diversos pueblos de México para convivir con una parentela que parece formada por extraños.

El día después de cumplir diez años me partí en dos. Era agosto del 81. Guatemala era un caos político y social. Recuerdo tiroteos, disparos sueltos, combates en las calles y barrancos y hasta uno enfrente del colegio, con todos los alumnos recluidos dentro. Recuerdo al nuevo guardia de seguridad que llegaba a la casa en las noches y se sentaba al lado de la puerta principal envuelto en un poncho, con una enorme escopeta sobre el regazo y un tibio termo de café en las manos.
