The book

El esquiador de fondo is therefore a rudimentary metaphor of existence, of becoming a voluntary exile, displaced with a sort of fatally to the emptiness and conformity of his own interior. In short a clumsy and ill-fated representation of disappointment. «There are not pretense or simulacrum —Pray the final fragment of “El naufrago metódico (The methodic castaway)”— nor desperate desire to escape, but a decent and honest acceptance of my failure. Leo and the voice that comes out of me are myself, a methodic shipwreck, alone, naked and almost powerless».
