He came along, kicking the snow. Here was a disgusted man. His name was Svevo Bandini, and he lived three blocks down that street. He was cold and there were holes in his shoes. That morning he had patched the holes on the inside with pieces of cardboard from a macaroni box. The macaroni in that box was not paid for. He had thought of that as he placed the cardboard inside his shoes. / América sucumbe a la Gran Depresión y la nieve cubre Colorado. Arturo Bandini, hijo primogénito de emigrantes italianos instalados en el corazón de los Estados Unidos, está en el tránsito de entre la infancia y la adolescescencia. Su padre, Svevo, amante del vino y las mujeres, es albañil, pero en pleno invierno apenas hay trabajo y la inactividad lo desespera. Su madre, María, es una católica ferviente, a un tiempo sumisa y feroz. Esperando la primavera crece el joven Arturo, personaje contradictorio y conmovedor, adolescente turbulento que intenta abrirse camino en la vida y sobrevivir a la agobiante presión de una familia rota cuando el padre abandona el hogar para irse a vivir con una riquísima viuda.
