Her problems are two-fold: first, she cannot read or write; second, the landlord has chosen a gentleman who has never set foot in Glengour to manage the inn.

Un tipo solitario y antisocial se ve obligado a suplantar la identidad del líder del partido político de la oposición. Desde entonces vivirá toda una serie de aventuras para acabar con el régimen totalitario del país latinoamericano de Miranda. Desaforado, desquiciado, hilarante, el narrador usa sus palabras para cuestionar, ridiculizar y destruir la realidad (y para reconstruirla de nuevo, desde cero, como nueva).
«Tres ataúdes blancos» se presta a múltiples interpretaciones. Es al mismo tiempo una crítica feroz de la política en América Latina, una reposada reflexión sobre la identidad individual, una novela que explora los límites de la amistad, un ensayo sobre la fragilidad de lo real y, también, una historia de amor imposible.
