Description:
¿En qué mundo vivimos? Es difícil responder porque hay muchos. Sin embargo Boga, el héroe pasivo de Sudeste, lo sabe bien. Es un saber físico, inexpresivo, formado en un silencio interior que sólo es capaz de oír el suave llamado de la música fluvial. Boga no es del todo un hombre –un hombre con nombre de pez no es otra cosa que un hombre-pez–, no tiene lo que los manuales de la civilización llaman una personalidad. Es una partícula de naturaleza que, como los camalotes que bajan del norte, se deja llevar. El gen... continue
