Yes, I read it last year. It was a very entertaining book. It's written as a dialogue between two, and only two, characters. It doesn't describe any setting or action; everything must be inferred from the dialogue. The book doesn't even tell you who's talking, so you have to keep up with the conversation. It takes place in an Argentinian prison. One man is a gay self-centered window dresser who spends a lot of time describing movies (as a form of entertainment) to his cellmate, who is an introverted revolutionary.
But no, it's not about prison, so I doubt it's what you're looking for. I'd read it anyway, since it's a really good (and different) book.
