En el marco del cincuenta aniversario de la cruenta dictadura militar que sufriera Chile en 1973, surge esta novela dividida en tres partes diferenciadas pero conexas entre sí. Nos propone esta obra una nueva visión del golpe militar y los años siguientes de la dictadura a través de los ojos de Alejandro, el niño que jugaba con la pelota saltarina aquella mañana del 11 de septiembre. La novela relata la vida familiar típica de un país que sufría apuros económicos y polarización política, mientras la CIA y los militares golpistas preparaban el asalto al gobierno democrático de Salvador Allende. Alejandro, desde sus recuerdos de infancia, nos transporta hasta aquellos años con la mirada auténtica de sentimientos pueriles, evocando una vida repleta de tradiciones, donde la familia era el eje articulador de un país que atravesaba un momento de transición hacia la justicia social. Carlos, el tío de Alejandro, es el único que escapa de la dictadura y que, a través de sus aventuras en distintos países de América, llega al ansiado país del norte, su anhelada Nueva York. El fin del mundo, es el viaje de un joven Alejandro por el sur de Chile en el que nos enseña su amor juvenil, la amistad verdadera, la crueldad y la avaricia del ser humano.
