‘Innocent Mosquitoes’ describes the journey around Brazil made by the author but invents an independent narrator called Alfred. The purpose of the journey is to visit Canudos in the back lands of Brazil. Canudos is where in 1896 a millennial community of 30,000 Brazilians was slaughtered by the Republican Army. The narrator imagines meeting famous characters from the history of Brazil and these experiences and other memories explain the roots of Brazil and why the journey is important to Alfred.

He meets not just those who survived but the others, those who were slain and who, like Spencer, cannot forget the violence of the past.
