A memoir of Adriana Williams, who recounts her view of his inner life; of the interests they shared and talked about, of his likes and dislikes, of his artistic, musical, and literary passions, of the artists and works that inspired him.

"Born in Guadalajara in 1902, Luis Ramiro Barragán Morfín is regarded as the most prominent figure in modern Mexican architecture. By the time of his death in 1988, his persona and way of working had attained almost mythical status, and the interest in his oeuvre has increased ever since." from barragan-foundation.org.
