condición humana El búfalo de la noche confirma a Guillermo Arriaga -traducido a varios idiomas, autor de Amores perros, 21 gramos y Babel, y recientemente galardonado con el Premio Mazatlán de Literatura por su última novela, El Salvaje- como uno de los mejores escritores de la literatura contemporánea. Gregorio y Manuel son mejores amigos hasta que el primero comienza a despeñarse hacia la locura. Mientras Gregorio entra y sale de hospitales psiquiátricos, Tania -su novia- y Manuel comienzan una relación amorosa a sus espaldas.
