  • Overview

    El gran regreso de Mario Mendoza a la ficción después de cinco años. 

    Adán Santana, un novelista con el cuerpo desbaratado y maltrecho por varios accidentes sucesivos, con un precario estado mental, que menguó sus fuerzas y su espíritu, sobrevivió como pudo al encierro de la pandemia y ahora es un náufrago inmóvil. La humanidad no cambió un ápice tras la prueba extrema que experimentó y él, en medio de ese caos, no sabe cómo retomar el rumbo, si es que aún existe alguno, después de todo lo que ha pasado.

    De manera misteriosa comienzan a llegarle señales de que debe volver al corazón oscuro de la ciudad que ha alimentado sus obras. La intempestiva aparición de un viejo amigo, un bohemio músico de jazz, lo pone en marcha al recomendarlo con una joven artista que recordó en terapia, por medio de la hipnosis, su propósito al conectarse con sus vidas pasadas.

    Al abismarse de nuevo, el escritor descubre que la realidad pierde su forma y que lo que cree sólido se desvanece. Sumergido en el Kairós, el tiempo sagrado, su cordura y templanza serán puestas a prueba por militares que experimentaron el horror, creyentes que esperan con fervor al nuevo Avatar, guerreros espirituales forjados tras las rejas de la cárcel, sádicos torturadores profesionales, víctimas escaldadas por un dolor que las consume y alimenta un odio atroz.

    Comprenderá que “sin muerte no hay renacimiento”, que “si no hay un final no podremos tener un nuevo comienzo” y que al dejar “esa pose de escritor pulcro y cuidadoso, que calcula cada paso que da como si temiera hundirse en el abismo. Cuando quizás de lo que se trataba era, justamente, de dejarse caer en el vacío y de disfrutar el viaje por el precipicio”.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    The great return of Mario Mendoza to fiction after five years.

    Adán Santana, a novelist with a body battered and broken by several successive accidents, with a precarious mental state that has sapped his strength and spirit, survived the pandemic lockdown as best he could and is now an immobile castaway. Humanity did not change one bit after the extreme test it experienced, and he, in the midst of this chaos, does not know how to get back on track, if there is even one left, after all that has happened.

    Mysterious signs begin to appear, indicating that he must return to the dark heart of the city that has fueled his works. The sudden appearance of an old friend, a bohemian jazz musician, sets him in motion by recommending him to a young artist who, through hypnosis in therapy, remembered her purpose by connecting with her past lives.

    As he plunges back in, the writer discovers that reality loses its shape and what he believes to be solid vanishes. Immersed in Kairós, the sacred time, his sanity and composure will be tested by soldiers who have experienced horror, believers fervently awaiting the new Avatar, spiritual warriors forged behind prison bars, sadistic professional torturers, and victims scalded by a pain that consumes them and fuels an atrocious hatred.

    He will understand that “without death there is no rebirth,” that “if there is no end, we cannot have a new beginning,” and that by abandoning “that pose of a neat and careful writer, who calculates every step as if fearing to sink into the abyss. When perhaps what it was all about was precisely letting oneself fall into the void and enjoying the journey down the precipice.”
