The man, it turns out, knows certain intimate details about the writer's life and convinces him to listen to a "wild" revelation: his father, recently deceased, wasn't really the bigoted Christian Democratic general that his son always believed him to be, but a Russian spy in the service of the KGB. The cab driver claims to have been his father's best friend and to have shared the same ambiguous subterranean existence with him.
