Los mendigos de la luz de mercurio -We the other people- hace su debut como novela social dentro de la literatura norteamericana. Narra la fusión del poder político y la pobreza invisible en medio de la crisis de los valores conservadores de la sociedad, la injusticia social, los excesos de los extremismos y la politización del sufrimiento como herramienta de poder.La historia se enfoca en una familia, los Newman, caídos en una desgracia económica que sume a su patriarca en estado depresivo en los años previos a la crisis de salud global, que, a la postre, termina siendo el telón de fondo de la novela. Steve Newman representa al patriarca que lucha por superarse, creando juegos imaginarios en los que mezcla vivencias y ficciones como terapia para espantar la depresión. De su desventura y agobio sin embargo, surge la resiliencia que lo rescata de los demonios que lo persiguen y termina convirtiéndolo en un conmiserado social. Steve sobrelleva su nueva vida conociendo de primera mano el abandono de los invisibles sociales desde la pobreza y no desde el trono de la opulencia como solía percibirla antes de su fracaso. La novela de Castaño-Bedoya recrea la vida de quienes sobrellevan su existencia bajo el desamparo de la Constitución y de quienes claman por su derecho universal a vivir sin miedo.
