Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Delirio, or Delirium if you speak English, is a 2004 novel from the Colombian writer and journalist Laura Restrepo. Mainly about Agustina, her madness, and her common, high-standard, water-obsessed family. Also drugs, The Cartel of Medellin and sex. The structure is divided into 4 storylines that are told in fragments: Agustina and her husband, Aguilar, and her mental breakdown. Which Aguilar has to investigate, because the Police Are Useless (actually, they are rarely mentioned in the novel, and most of the times is just patrols passing by). Minos, the conection between Escobar and the rich guys of Colombia. Also pretty much the Screw the Rules, I Have Money! main example of the bunch. Nicolás Portulinus, the mad German musician that always has to recite all the rivers in Germany. Agustina's childhood and early teenage years.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the American Young Adult book series.

Big, Screwed-Up Family: The whole novel is an example on this trope and its variations: The Londoños mainly on the Plausible Deniability, financing Escobar, infidelity and some fucked up Fake Memories through Brainwashing that makes some villans look pussies. They are also the epitome of Parental Issues to a point that both Bichi and Agustina Shed the Family Name. Only Joaco stayed, and it was mainly for the money. The Portulinus possible incest and Blanca's suspicious reaction of his husband death. Since the Portulinus is part of the Londoños family, well, we can say It Runs in the Family Midas Mc Alister's also Shed the Family Name, nut at the end he is a Momma's Boy.

The Londoños mainly on the Plausible Deniability, financing Escobar, infidelity and some fucked up Fake Memories through Brainwashing that makes some villans look pussies. They are also the epitome of Parental Issues to a point that both Bichi and Agustina Shed the Family Name. Only Joaco stayed, and it was mainly for the money.

Cassandra Truth: When Bichi's reveals her father infidelity to her mother, with pictures the father takes himself. But Brainwashing takes all credibility to the pictures.
