"Reasons of State" is a satirical novel that delves into the life of a Latin American dictator who clings to power through manipulation and the ruthless suppression of opposition. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century political turmoil, the narrative explores themes of corruption, decadence, and the absurdity of authoritarian regimes. The protagonist, a caricature of the archetypal tyrant, navigates through a series of farcical and tragic events, revealing the hollow core of his regime's pomp and circumstance. The novel critiques the self-serving justifications of those in power, who often cloak their actions under the guise of state necessity and progress, while their personal and political decisions lead to the suffering and disenfranchisement of the people they rule.

"All Can Be Saved" explores the diverse and often overlooked religious views in colonial Latin America, particularly among the common people who challenged the rigid doctrines imposed by the Spanish and Portuguese empires. The book delves into the personal beliefs and practices of individuals who, despite the threat of the Inquisition, dared to express and follow their own interpretations of Christianity. Through extensive archival research, the author reveals a complex tapestry of faith that includes dissenting views on salvation, morality, and the authority of the Church, highlighting the spiritual autonomy and resistance among the colonized populations in the face of imperial and religious domination.
