He knew the monster from within: that's how Antonio Caballero, born into the heart of the aristocracy, became the most feared critic of the elite and political power in Colombia.

Five years after his death, on Calamares en su Tinta (Squid in Their Ink) we pay tribute to the finest prose writer in the Colombian press. We explore the genealogy of a family where ink flowed instead of blood, his upbringing in Francoist Spain, and his starring role in the combative magazine Alternativa. From his lucid perspective in "History of Colombia and Its Oligarchies" to the literary gatherings that made even Gabriel García Márquez tremble, we analyze the mind of an incorruptible aristocrat who preferred art, bullfighting, and satire to dissect a country that, according to him, never changes.
